1. Survey question

:

• Mary will contact Shirley about set-up for Mann 160.
• Kaila will email IC Librarians about their attendance.
• Unit coordinators/reps: please encourage colleagues to attend and get a sense of participation.

CTE Faculty Course Design Institute – presentation and lunch with faculty on May 22^nd

• Mary, Thomas, or Kaila will give a short presentation followed by lunch with faculty. Library instructors will be invited to attend the lunch based on the participating faculty.
• Survey: We can add 1 or 2 questions to the pre-institute survey. Kaila will send out the survey and get ideas for the questions. Deadline: end of May 3.
• We will want to follow-up with librarians who attend the lunch to see if they worked with faculty after the Institute.
  Library credit courses web page – looking for volunteer/s to take this on
• Nina agreed to spearhead this effort.
• Thomas has compiled all of the courses. He will confirm with Susette when this information is needed by Undergraduate Research office.
• If it's a tight deadline, we will create a public Confluence page as a stop-gap.
• Long-term we want to develop a web page that is dynamically generated with the courses.
• This also brings up the larger issue of redesigning our web page/s. This should be a priority for the next year - the new Instruction Team should form a task force.

Other

• Gaby announced that Erin Eldimier will be an intern for RAU. Part of her internship will be working on the curriculum mapping project. She will also sit in on the Teaching Forum.
• Fall information literacy training for CUL. Chris brought the idea to BLAST. There is interest so far in doing this for Business resources.
• Amy reported that the PSEC May 15 meeting will decide on new membership for committees. We are looking for 1 at large member. Thomas and Kaila will attend.
• Mary suggested that we review the Information Literacy Task Force report at the first meeting of the new PSEC Team in July. She will send this out to everyone.
• We will also need to vote on the chair-elect at the 2nd meeting of the new PSEC Team (probably August).
• Kaila gave an update on the Mann Life Sciences/Instruction Coordinator search: phone interviews are done; inviting final candidates for on-campus in May.
• We discussed the last Reading Discussion on humor. Possible future forum/workshop on learning techniques to help with teaching anxiety?
