Chad will continue to find out procedures for turning the sCIL treasury over to CARL.

Regional Immersion Proposal

The CARL Board asked for site selection criteria, and ACRL has supplied some criteria as part of the application materials. Additional/especially important criteria could include philosophical support from site library administration, significant instruction (or information literacy) program at the site, transportation, quality of on-campus housing, dining, library, computer labs, and conference rooms, potential outside events, summer hours and other scheduling parameters, wiring of dorms.
