Agenda, November 9, 2016

1. Housekeeping - 5m
   a. Note taker/additional agenda items- Who was the notetaker for October meeting? 
2. Sub-team updates -
   
   1. Website - Nina and Melissa are working on this. Jeremy renewed call to include a note about the instructional videos, even in the absence of any positive 'testimony' from faculty (pointed out that given that we can link directly to some of the existing videos, we might not even need anyone's testimony to tell them how good the service is).
      
      
   2. Technology/Learning Spaces - The online learning module/video meeting had a meeting last week; at least 3 possible projects are in the works. (For Jeremy's proposed ENGRC video, it was suggested that he speak with Traci Nathans-Kelly, whom he was familiar with)
      
      
   3. LibGuides - No response from SpringShare yet in regarding multiple problems having to do with the Assets menu. We have had multiple problems with seemingly undeletable 'zombie' content in the Assets module. ILR has a very structured process for the creation, addition and removal of Asset content, but would like a 'batch process' for elimination of outdated or undesired content from that menu. Also: the LibGuides search function is still not fully function. 
   
   
   1. Assessment - A Qualtrics training was held on Oct. 13 for Olin staff; likely will have another such training at some point in the future. Zsuzsa and Kornelia presented some of the results of the PULSE survey of undergraduates plus the survey of faculty at ACRL. Still investigating the usage of paper surveys (Jeremy pointed out that using paper surveys–and implicitly requiring that students hand them in at the end of a class before they're allowed to leave-- Aliqae offered personalized instruction in how to enter the results of paper surveys online.
      
      
   2. Programming - There was some discussion of potential December programming, possibly including digital teaching, libguides and video production. Jeremy also mentioned that Jesse Koennecke is still willing to do an event having do with improv presentation skills (BattleDecks), though that would not be until the end of the spring semester.
      
      
   3. Information Literacy/Instruction Leadership - There was much discussion having to do with the framework and it's relationship to the existing standards. Although there was some vigorous debate, most people seem willing to accept the framework as an adequate replacement for the older standards. Chris Miller also described the upcoming Course Design Institute, the participants (now up to 7) need library partners, who could confer with them during the lunch portion of the program. Regarding the Information Literacy Fellowship program, we can expect to re-launch it in January, although our planned-for date to solicit new applications due at the end of November may be approaching too fast to be practical.
