Get to Know the Catholic University Student Chapter | ASIS&T Catholic University Student Chapter (CUA-ASIS&T) logo We continue our “Get to Know a SIG / Get to Know a Chapter” post series today with an interview

On February 28, 2015, ASIS&T CUA student chapter members and several LIS alumnae met at Washington School for Girls for what has become an annual volunteer event. Without a librarian on staff, the library at the WSG Morris Rd. campus needed a little extra TLC. Volunteers created signage to help students identify subjects. 115 items were w**ded from the non-fiction section, which will make the collection more approachable. The loss was balanced by the cataloging of 114 new items. Volunteers tidied up the fiction section that was out of sorts after students re-shelved items. Overall, the library received a much-needed refresh, and volunteers made new connections. Don’t wait for another ASIS&T event if you are interested in volunteering at WSG, reach out through http://www.washingtonschoolforgirls.org/

ASIS&T-CUA Student Chapter's Volunteer Day at Cardozo High School

On November 8, 2014, members of the ASIS&T CUA student chapter and several community members met at Cardozo High School in Washington, DC. Cardozo librarian, Megan Reichelt, faced a storage closet filled with special collections and older books. Volunteers w**ded 50 storage boxes and sorted books for classroom libraries, donations, and potential additions to the library’s collection. Volunteers identified the library’s Black History Collection and uncovered two boxes of Nook e-readers, which the librarian was unaware of having. The 10 volunteers took home CUA cups and Frisbees and enjoyed pizza for lunch. ASIS&T CUA student chapter is planning a similar event for the Spring semester.

Call for Volunteers (ASIS&T-CUA collaborative project with LC YRC)

ASIS&T CUA Student Chapter is working with Library of Congress Young Readers Center on a service project for visually impaired children and their parents. Our project for this semester is to create a brochure about assistive technologies. For this, each of project participants will find one assistive technology and provide a brief description of the technology. We plan to select about 10 assistive technologies.

If you know any good assistive technologies for visually impaired children or want to learn more about them, you’re welcome to join us! To participate, please email to Dr. Sung Un Kim ([email protected]) by Oct. 22, Wednesday. Then we will share with you a link to the Google Docs that we created for this project. We will communicate online. Thank you!
