Attendees: Mickey, Kelee, Nina, Lance, Chris, Gaby, Amy, Tony, Mary, Martha, Kaila, Carissa (recorder)

1. Announcements

- Welcome new member, Kelee Pacion, the new Instruction Coordinator and Life Sciences Librarian at Mann.

- CTE is offering classes on the 22^nd, including some for librarians.

2. Review of the Committee Charge

- We discussed adding a reference to information literacy and adding language from the strategic goals of the university. Nina will pull in the language and send it to the Committee for discussion.

3. Technology Subteam

- Volunteers for this team: Martha, Mickey, Chris. They will look for some from Dean's group to be a part of the team.

- This group will survey technology (software and hardware) available in library classrooms. They will identify people, like in CUL IT, to bring onto the team. The group will also look into promoting the use of technology and teaching technologies to use in instruction settings.

4. Assessment Subteam

                - Volunteers for this team: Gaby, Lance, Carissa, Kelee, Mickey

                - This group will look into assessing information literacy. They will write a charge, identify people from outside PSEC-I to take part in the group. Nina asked that the group reports on its meeting at the next PSEC-I meeting.

5. Programming

                a. Needs of liaisons

- Nina reported on a meeting with members of the Liaison Task Force about looking into topics that could be jointly sponsored and be of interest to instructors and liaisons. One idea was a jointly sponsored panel discussion on building relationships with faculty in a sustainable manner. Kalia, Thomas, and Nina are looking into setting up a program in October and identifying the right people and contacting them to see who is willing to take part.

                b. Fall article discussion

- We will be having 2 discussions. These will be on Tuesday mornings (not in conflict with R&O Forums). Nina will look into dates when Olin 106G is available.

- Possible topics include dealing with classrooms anxiety and threshold concepts in information literacy. (Mary will circulate the information she had from ACRL on this last topic.)

                c. End of semester programming

- We plan to do these at the end of each semester. We will discuss possible topics at our next meeting.

- Amy reminded us that, if we want to request funding from PSEC for the fall, we need to ask for it soon.

d. Proquest Legislative Insight

                                - WebEx will be available for this session.

e. BLAST/HLM – Business 101 instruction

                                - Chris suggested that it could start in late October and run for a few weeks in a row.

f. Last Legal Research 101

                                - Nina will be offering a session on Administrative Law this fall.

g. Listing of for-credit classes

- Could we arrange a panel discussion for how to develop a for-credit class? This could be a spring topic. The session could focus on what is required in creating this type of class – goals, concepts, assignments, technology, objectives, etc.
