1. Housekeeping
   Danianne suspended the formal PCEC meeting for September in order to meet individually with PSEC committee chairs and outgoing chairs to go over goals, budgets, etc.
   Aliqae is scheduled to meet with Danianne on October 5
   
   Announcements and updates
   Olin/Uris RLS: Instructors have experienced problems with the projection monitors in the Uris Classrooms. They are getting past their useful life, but as Cornell IT is relinquishing control over that space, they, IT, will not be replacing them. Stay tuned for updates.
   Arts & Science Advising Seminar, library instruction sessions have begun.
   
   ILR:  The ILR school is undertaking a curriculum review. Recommendations coming out this fall. 
   Second round of interviews for Kheel Center Director position have begun.

2. Subteam reports
   1. Assessment
      Camille reports that the library assessment email will be sent to instruction coordinators, along with the CLIQ.
      
      
   2. LibGuides
      Jeremy is the Administrator/liaison with Springshare and has accepted the leadership role on the LibGuides subteam. In terms of the goals, we will be focusing on meeting accessibility benchmarks as outlined in WCAG 2.0. As part of that effort, we will share a LibGuides accessibility cheat sheet with all LibGuide authors.
      
      
   3. Programming
      Would like to poll the rest of the PSEC instruction team for ideas. One thought is to focus on assessment models and current trends in assessment.
      
      
   4. Outreach and communication
      The subteam will rotate responsibility for meeting facilitation. Nina will be the point-person. In terms of goals, will take on "marketing support" for workshops, but would like to hear thoughts from the full Instruction Committee.
      
      
3. CUL Workshops calendar and instruction page
   1. Calendar
      
      1. links to unit calendars: to review
         Libcal has a system level which could write to all calendars.
         
      2. Proposed: unified color-coding/categorization of events by topic or theme
         Is there a central categorization scheme, for example, for color-coding similar types of workshops? If we use color-coding, or some other coding scheme by category -- e.g., all of the citation management workshops or all of the mapping workshops –  is there a way to put in a legend explaining the coding?
   2. Instruction page
      1. Proposed: cancellation statement
         "Workshop instructors reserves the right to cancel the workshop if attendance is low." This wording may sound a little unfriendly. In general, if attendance is low, instructors will content registrants to offer a private consultation.  Since most unit libraries are not receiving instruction requests from the central instruction request form, it may not be necessary to add this wording. 
      2. Proposed: links to videos/alternate materials
         General agreement that it might be nice to add this content to that page.
      3. review of instruction request form. Heather Furnas asked if we could add wording to the central instruction request form to ask requestors to attach their syllabus? This raised the question of which libraries use this form and it appears that only Olin is.
         
         
4. Goals review - tabled until Aliqae has met with Danianne. 
   1. Goals/budget request submitted
      1. Budget request: $600 for programming, $1500 for information literacy travel award to attend Immersion
      2. Goals:
         • Review and revise orientation workshop curriculum. Small task force formed to look at lesson plans and solicit feedback from workshop instructors and make recommendations.
         • Create web accessibility guidance and templates for units and staff working with LibGuides.
         • Harness recent Online Learning Module Task Force recommendations to identify necessary resources for instructional design needs and update existing patron website guidance.
         • Continue/complete last year's efforts to build checklist of resources and background for instruction coordinators and supervisors to onboard new CUL library instructors.
5. Orientation materials review update
   Taskforce: Heather, Alison, Gaby, Mel, Tobi and Lenora will schedule of series of three meetings to review Orientation materials.
