Minutes for June 18, 2014 Meeting

Present: Tony Cosgrave, Jeremy Cusker, Amy Emerson, Chris Miller, Nina Scholtz (minutes), Martha Walker

Announcements

Nina: This meeting is the last of the 2013-14 academic year. Starting July 1, Lance Heidig is chair and Nina is outgoing chair. Mickey Casad as member at large and Thomas Mills as outgoing chair are rolling off the Team. Nina is attending the PSEC Steering meeting this afternoon where new Team members will be discussed. We have two openings for members at large. The structure of PSEC Steering is likely changing as well. We will no longer have a PSEC liaison attending our meetings, so Amy will no longer be joining our meetings, but the chair (Lance) or a representative of the chair will be a member of PSEC Steering.

End-of-Year Wrap-Up

Assessment (Nina): Over the course of the year, the Assessment subteam worked on the Classroom Assessment Techniques and ran the workshop at the Assessment Expo.
Technology (Chris): The subteam is putting together a list of technology to inventory. There is a new a/v guy in desktop services, Shawn, and Pete Magnus has suggested we work with him on this project. It turns out there is no overall room inventory at Planning, Design, and Construction. Some partial lists of classroom technology exist but they are incomplete and out of date. Roberta had developed an iPad app to do this type of inventory, but it is a big effort. Pete's wiki covers public speaking spaces, e.g. Olin Library 703. Next steps are to get list of technology info needed and then create a template. The subteam will use the PSEC Instruction mailing list to gather ideas from the group about what should be inventoried. Chris and Tony agree to continue working on the subteam's project and new subteam members will be appointed.
Information Literacy: The group discussed ideas for moving forward with information literacy in the next year. Chris announced that HLM is doing a training within the unit on storytelling and then they will have a story slam. They are going to try to make this a conference presentation and if they are accepted they may offer the program to CUL. Tony announced that R&LS awarded its first information literacy prize (with a $500 dollar prize) this week, to Janice Gallagher, a TA in Government. The award received five applications and the awards committee had a tough time making a choice. Jeremy discussed how Engineering is puzzling about outreach to the tech campus; whenever Jeremy inquires he is told it won't need much at all in the way of library support. He will be engaging in more outreach to the Master of Engineering program this fall, as he has discovered a couple of new ways to reach all the students, or the program administrators, at once. HLM will be providing some support to the new ILR executive masters of professional studies program.
Web (Nina): Gaby, Nina, and Mickey have been working on creating new pages on the CUL website for instruction. The new pages will be much more image-focused. We're working with Carla and Jenn.
