Third Thursdays CE
10–11 a.m. each third Thursday of the month
Join us online or in person each third Thursday of the month from 10-11 a.m. to hear from a guest speaker about an important or arising topic facing the library community.
All Third Thursday CE sessions will be streamed live, but participants who are also attending the IHLS Members Matter meeting are encouraged to attend both events in person at a rotating location.
This Month: Meet the CMC Mobile Memory Lab
Learn how you can preserve your community’s local history!
In 2023, IHLS was awarded an Illinois Humanities grant to help fund a mobile digitalization lab. Last fall, Kat Anderberg visited three IHLS libraries and digitized documents and artifacts from their communities. Learn about the CMC’s newest service and explore the digital collections from the Mobile Memory Lab’s first three Digitization Days with CMC Metadata Cataloger Kat Anderberg. Lacy McDonald and Jamie Poorman will join to discuss how their libraries brought the Mobile Memory Lab to their communities.
Find out how you can become one of the libraries and communities who participate!
Presenters:
Kat Anderberg, Metadata Cataloger, Cataloging Maintenance Center
Lacy McDonald, Genealogy & Local History Manager, Hayner Public Library District
Jamie Poorman, Head Librarian, Marshall Public Library
IHLS Members Matter
11 a.m.–Noon each third Thursday of the month
Be the first to hear the latest news from Illinois Heartland Library System, SHARE, and more. Then, it’s your turn! Share your library's wins, ask your peers their thoughts on obstacles you're facing, and tell us what support you could use from IHLS.
All IHLS Members Matter meetings will be hybrid. However, in-person attendance at our rotating location is encouraged so you can get the most out of these monthly networking opportunities.
