- Website – Team is meeting today. Working on a form for requesting instruction. Team wants to include examples. It was suggested that new Engineering videos might be an option to include. Suggestion for short vignettes for potential “customers” to look at. The team will consider this at their meeting. The group discussed how to bring traffic to the CUL instruction sites. Need a promotional effort. Team will talk with Lib Comm for assistance. Do we have data on the usage of this page? Team will try to find data. The group discussed who gets the form after it is submitted. Right now requesters have to select a library.
- Technology/Learning Spaces – Next meeting will be webinar on Evanced system migration. Current system is horrible. Withdrawing current product in 2017, so must transition by then. Evanced is purchased with PSEC funds authorized by Kornelia. Upgrade is free, but we do pay an annual fee.
- LibGuides - Best practices document & training announcements – Marsha and Kelly are doing a workshop on finding images and using them in LibGuides. Recent problem with LibGuides – custom annotations were replaced by generic ones without warning. Kelly is trying to resolve this problem.
- Assessment – the Assessment team met once and has set a meeting schedule for the semester. They are identifying the components for a pilot assessment exercise this fall. Likely will use a version of the “1-minute paper.” Currently, they have prepared 5 questions. Looking for librarians to participate in the pilot. Initially, they are looking for librarians teaching undergraduate classes that are tied to an assignment. Would like 2 from each cluster. Targeting Oct-Nov timeframe. Team will be meeting with and running the plan by Kornelia. The group discussed several approaches for the pilot, needs to help clarify the PULSE data. The group hopes to finalize its plan by early Oct. Jill noted that EMPS does not have any instruction for undergrads so will likely not participate. All others will go back to cluster to identify pilot classes/instructors. Exercise will be done in Qualtrics. Assessment sub-team will email PSEC instruction full team with an invitation to participate in the pilot.
- Programming – Programming will support the other high priority activities of the team this year, e.g. the Dec. event could focus on assessment work for spring. Other activities will likely include: 1) Follow up with CTE for the Class Design Institute participants; 2) Mentoring program – reinvigorate LIPP?; 3) Certificate program with CTE; 4) Instruction coordinators discussion (Tony will coordinate); 5) Article discussions – 1 per semester; 6) possible lightning talks with liaison committee.
- Information Literacy/Instruction Leadership – Chris requested funding for the team for this year. Each PSEC group will receive $500. Instruction team received an additional amount for a total of $1300$1270. May have opportunity to request additional if other groups do not use all of their funding. The chairs group is meeting with CTE for our quarterly meeting. Will discuss CDI followup and certificate program. CTE would again like a librarian to participate in the CDI for faculty.
