Notetaker: Jeremy Cusker

SMART Goals updates from the subcommittees

Website

• The revamp of the Workshops page is underway; a mockup is in place now (see link above)
• Includes upcoming events
• Eventual goal is to incorporate the LibCal feed, plus a search box below that, then links to specific instructional units
• On front page of Instruction, "Workshops" will be better-surfaced
• Additional issue: Incorporate Jill Powell's suggestion for option of instructional videos on front page. Include at least one of our 2-3 examples of faculty testimony to highlight it's value

Technology and Learning Spaces

• SMART goals management merged with learning module goals; liaison with them
• Lance Heidig on separate learning spaces 'group'

LibGuides

• Homepage problems temporarily fixed (esp. search box)
• Search box within individual guides search only those guides; need to be removed with CSS if desired

Assessment

• In accordance with SMART goals, drafted plan to operationalize the pilot project
• Need better name for the effort
• Goals include: train instruction coordinators, develop a sustainable workflow for the paper surveys (or eliminate them altogether), various other goals
• Timeline to be discussed still
• Summary to be shared with PSEC leadership

Programming

• help for organzing events/programs available
• will also be coordinating on leadership efforts

Instructional literacy

• Idea: ACRL framework brown-bag lunch series - how to incorporate the framework into instruction. Might occur monthly.
• Begin looking for leaders of this effort via word-of-mouth, facilitators surveys
• Further: Idea of related 'lightning rounds' or short talks prior to each lunchtime event
• Peer mentoring program (possibly some other title like 'peer teaching') with a goal of making assessment program more streamlined
• Fellowship program - Mary Ochs unable to attend.
  
  • Review group recieved 2 applications, both applicants asked to make clarifications/modifications and both declined, withdrawing applications
  • Likely that time committment discouraged further applications
  • New round: Offer in January, with 'start date' of July
  • Better-clarify what the program is about

PSEC Instruction charge

• Formerly: PSEC Mission statement
• Draft exists; edited by committee herewith
