Abstract
The monthly RSCVD meeting took place on January 16, 2025, led by Committee Chair Carmen Lomba. She opened the discussion by reflecting on ILDS 2024 and invited members to share their impressions and ideas.
Silvana provided updates on the Talaria application, suggesting the need for librarian training on the final release, which is expected soon.
Lapis Cohen extended an invitation to the RSCVD Committee to participate in the ALA meeting in June 2025 in Philadelphia to discuss the collaboration between SHARE and RSCVD.
Katia updated the committee on possible themes being considered by DDRS for WLIC 2025. Discussions also took place regarding the session format, with options including a classical panel discussion, an International World Café, or a fishbowl format.
Silvana proposed that RSCVD be represented at ALA as part of the DDRS open session and at the IFLA stand in the WLIC exhibits area. She also suggested developing marketing materials, including brochures and a demo.
