- featuring books with the exhibit
- the 2nd floor hallway location could really use books; Robin can scout for physical books in the library but would love help to scouting people for book recommendations. @Amris Allemand do you think we could coordinate some sort of social media campaign to this end?
- timeline for this? install plan?
- do we want to do this? put a pin in this for now?
- Discussion: Robin notes that many o four books focus on history and it's important to clarify that we are wanting to show contemporary stories; is it appropriate for us to pull materials from the collection? Maybe QR codes stands for more contemporary information? Perhaps a content blurb with additional resources. We want to focus on this "is" vs "was" Kalapuyan land. Maybe working with Indigenous contacts.

Meeting #2 October 27, 2021
- Install Recommendation and Planning
- From Slack: There are 9 (1flipped) signs before the pictures repeat- so we figured it would make sense to have 1 set immediately in the front entrance & by the Reading Room, 1 at Java gallery, 1 on the 1st floor info desk, 1 on the 5th floor…. This way they are decently spread out without repeating pictures being next to each other. It also might make sense to plan to install the first week of November
- Install plan
- who: RB and Robin (install) and Amris can take photos of the install process
- where: 1 at the front entrance & by the Reading Room, 1 at Java gallery, 1 on the 1st floor info desk, 1 on the 5th floor
- when: Wed Nov 3rd, from 2-5pm
- who: RB and Robin (install) and Amris can take photos of the install process
- Content Blurb
- this is what this exhibit is info and here's a QR code (Robin will ask RB about this)
- Promotion Plan
- Amris would like to time the social media posts over time (every 1-2 weeks or so), not all at once; maybe do a hashtag for OSUL
- other items to promote i.e. resources? Robin could compile some resources
- kiosks slides - Amris
- main homepage promotion - Amris
- scan the posters (as jpegs) - Robin and Amris (will talk to Sagan)
- idea: per-scheduiled social media posts
- Timeline for the exhibit
- definitely promote it heavily this FY22 year
- then determine a potential permanent location
- long term use will also depend on how well the exhibit holds up
- LibGuide for the exhibit
- for now, use the existing guide https://guides.library.oregonstate.edu/land-acknowledgments
- Robin has access and will create a new tab (Amris will wait and Rachel will contact TED about her account)
- Next Meeting
