I joined the UNT student organization Library & Information Science Student Association (LISSA) as the Director of Membership & Communication. I was very active in the Canvas "classroom" last semester and loved that they updated students about conferences, organizations, and the virtual happy hours they hosted with LIS professionals.
Though the fall semester hasn't officially started, we had our first meeting a few weeks ago. It was nice to get to "meet" everyone via Zoom and see what goals the organization has for the year ahead.
I absolutely love digital organization so I suggested we move platforms from Google to Airtable. I was having such issues logging into the LISSA Gmail account. With Airtable we have everything we need in one place and I don't have to worry about signing into and out of various accounts. I probably sound like a spokesperson for the service but Airtable is one of the best services I've found...probably ever. It's so customizable. I've used it for so many different processes for work, school, and home.
So we're in the process of moving everything over. I've already started a Membership Directory that will be updated once the fall semester starts. I also created a survey so that members and potential members can submit their degree information, areas of interest, and comments. With the survey, we'll be able to see what kind of topics students are interested in and we'll be able to connect students with other members of the same degree.
Hopefully my work on the Airtable will make processes go smoother in the semesters to come.
