This is just to cover a few things we discussed at the curriculum meeting. First we discussed why TLAM should be made into a class, some major points were: enrichment for SLIS, it reaches out to other students, not only SLIS students but undergrads and students from other disciplines, it also connects SLIS with communities beyond Madison. TLAM could also be a class to educate future librarians on the fundamentals of ACT 31. We also discussed the future of the class. There are so many directions that we could go in, but it seems that perhaps hosting a conference, may be the next step in the outreach process. Also discussed were the implications and possible purposes of the bibliography. What is most certainly gleaned from this project so far, is the uniqueness of the course and the interest that it has spurned in tribal libraries and other community institutions.
