Community agreements are collaboratively-developed documents outlining key values and guidelines for meetings and conferences or any space, online or face-to-face, where communities gather. Community agreements create an inclusive environment, and actively engage the community in which members from different backgrounds can all feel welcomed, safe, and supported. In the process of creating a community agreement values statement, a group can also build trust and begin normalizing honest discussions about organizational culture, harm, and other difficult topics.
With this agreement, LILi hopes to take steps toward making LILi a truly equitable organization and to uplift and welcome all members. Please see the Community Agreement below.

Creating "Place" in the Online-Only Library to Help Improve Strategic Exploration
Stephanie Garrett
Director of Library & Learning Services | Director de la Biblioteca y Servicios de Aprendizaje
Faculty Advisor to Student Life | Consejera de la Facultad para la Vida Estudiantil
Catholic International University
As a 100% online university, the Catholic International University Library continues to seek new ways to engage students and showcase the quality of the sources found in the library over the popular sources students can find through a Google search. Since all classes are asynchronous and taught in accelerated 8 week termsthe ability to reach classes through one-shot info-lit session is very difficult. In 2024, the library began using LibGuides to produce Course Guides filled with highly-visual content, i.e. book and journal covers, organized by source type. These guides are embedded in the LMS along with with "How to Videos" for searching databases. The use of these guides has resulted in a 154% average monthly increase in the use of scholarly sources from the library, with only one-third of our course offerings having Course Guides to date.
During the session, Stephanie Garrett will explain the Whys and Hows of the formatting of these guides and their impact on Information Literacy throughout the university.

Enhancing Library Instruction Videos with AI-voiceover Software
Cynthia Soll
Research Librarian | McLennan Community College, Social and Behavioral Sciences Department, the Language, Literature, and Communication Department, and the Alternative Teacher Certification Program.
This session will focus on integrating AI-voiceover software into library instruction videos. Specifically, it will highlight the presenter's use of ElevenLabs' software, since it is a simple and provides an outstanding range of voices.
Goals:
- Provide participants with practical knowledge of the process for utilizing AI-voiceover software and integrating the results into videos.
- Inspire attendees to create videos with AI voiceovers for their institutions.
The session will include:
1. A sample video created by combining an AI voiceover and instructional material in Camtasia.
2. An overview of ElevenLabs' interface.
3. Tips for using the ElevenLabs' software and exporting the files.
3. An overview of the process for integrating the resulting audio clips into a Camtasia project.
4. Tips for using Canva instead of Camtasia (if attendees lack the Camtasia software).
5. A sample video created using ElevenLabs and Canva.
6. Reminder that there are numerous versions of AI-voiceover software, as well as multiple versions of video software, so attendees are not locked into the choices I demonstrated.
7. Encouragement to inspire attendees to try their hand at creating videos with AI voiceovers.
