   7. - Nothing to report - Refworks reminder will be going out with the hope that guide owners will do so, but the admin can make the deletion - Q: can we replace RefWorks with something else automatically? A: Not really.  Can replace an asset (for example, CareerBeam switch), but a problematic approach
   8. Assessment - in pilot phase of assessment project - Qualtrics survey sent to pilot members along with a paper option - subteam met with Kornelia - very interested in the Likert scale questions - the free-text responses will inform this group's work and allow us to see themes - Kornelia also asked for a question about whether or not students had previous instruction - Tony mentioned potential challenges in using 3 times in the pilot.  Amount of time it takes? 4-8 minutes - Gaby warned to leave time to create the survey - Kelly suggested using a tinyurl or bit.ly. - Ok to use paper if devices aren't allowed in the class - If there are interesting circumstances around your class, please send them to Kelee Pacion so that we're aware when looking at the data (ex: non-hands-on session)
      
   9. Information Literacy/Instruction Leadership - quarterly meeting with CTE - follow-up on the CTE Course Design Institute, talked about a continuing conversation amongst the cohort - talked about their Faculty Course Design Institute in November on a Friday and Saturday, 11/13-14 - ACTION: Chris needs to send out the save-the-date - we'll get a list of registrants the week before and match liaison participation during the lunch hour - If you have an interest in going through it in November as a participant, please let Chris know - Lance gives his endorsement to participating as a fun learning experience and the opportunity to interject library-related information - Q: Better for newer instructors? A: Not necessarily - Also talked about the possibility of a CTE Librarian Teaching Certificate - attending seminars and having a CTE observation of your teaching with pre/post-discussion - a little project attached to it as well - will submit a proposal about what each group (CUL and CTE) will get out of it - possibility of having librarians join the CTE teaching calendar and offering workshops - let leadership know if you have ideas - spring semester would be the earliest inclusion - Crafting a Research Assignment one possible proposal - might be nice to have a faculty member team up with a librarian to offer that type of workshop
   10. Programming - Programming in November with article read - third week of November - December - looking at two things - lightning round approach to end-of-semester event - Liaison doing 45 minutes of R&O December meeting, so don't need to co-sponsor - second December event would be a follow-up on the July CTE institute - informal lunch and de-briefing to see impact - is there interest? - Have lightning round be short and have lunch right after? - have advantages and disadvantages - could lose people at the end - could have separate rooms - Kornelia could talk about her instruction vision along with lightning rounds - Career Development Month could include instruction programming - keeping the month format - moving through different days of the week - Tony: discussion among instruction coordinators - are people still interested? discussion about the role of instruction coordinators? early November - Tony will send out info soon, using the contact list of instruction coordinators to invite
3. Evanced Upgrade - 15m - Jill
   1. Brief Demo - Evanced has a new platform that we can migrate to  - currently used in the library for events that need prior registration, like the Olin and Uris Workshops - Management uses Campus Groups - Evanced sends out reminders to attendees, theoretically - calendar - can categorize events by colors - interface is cleaner and more modern - can search by location, event type - can embed just the calendar of a particular location based on the URL - very uncustomizable - can't get rid of age groups as limiter - events have unique IDs - will anything break because of the upgrade? - most things move in the upgrade except for the custom things - can request our own demo site - have 45 days to test and give feedback - and then can decide if we should migrate - advantage is really aesthetics? - can we set up a staff calendar? - admin side 
   2. Possible dealbreakers: no way for registrants to cancel themselves, if a user signs up they can choose not to be notified and not provide any information (but there is now a text messaging option)
   3. Alternatives? LibCal - Chris is going to contact Dan Blackaby about that trial
   4. Feedback - ACTION: send feedback to the list - demo.evanced.info - password in upper right - demoguest
   Evanced Upgrade - 15m
   1. Brief Demo
   2. Feedback
