1. 1. Housekeeping

   1. Notes: Camille

   2. CUL-Tsinghua webinar series: Instruction discussion 6/11

   1. Group charged by Gerald to plan externally focused webinar series ~6 months ago with Tsinghua about global impact of libraries; Tsinghua mostly wanted exchange with Cornell on 6-7 topics (more of a sister libraries conversation); Mary and Ai Hong (sp?-Tsinghua colleague) organized this first one; Lenora helping coordinate future webinars and volunteers welcome

   2. Issues: 12 hour time difference and date conflicts; potential tech difficulties   

   3. First one scheduled for 6/11 on information literacy in Mann 160 from 8:15 a.m. – 9:45 a.m. Cornell speakers: Gerald (welcome); Mary (moderating); Aliqae (general IL); Ashley (new CALS IL course); Heather (A&S orientation)

   4. Brief intro; 20 min presentation/panel for each side; 20 min Q&A (questions via webinar, Mann mic set up, not sure about Tsinghua’s set up for questions)

   5. All in English (slides sent into advance and translated into Chinese)

   6. Possibly recorded and shared if Tsinghua agrees; Mary will ask

   7. Possible questions-comparable associations and frameworks; IL standards at secondary and post-secondary level; potential controversial issues and how to handle

   8. Next topic: TBD

   9. Possibly external facing webinar on collaboration on this series

   3. Committee charge and coordinated call and committee membership

   1. Draft in consult with Danianne: The PSEC Public Services Instruction Team provides leadership for library-wide instruction initiatives, and supports CUL in its commitment to effective instruction and comprehensive information and related literacies (data literacy, visual literacy, media literacies), by serving as a clearinghouse for information, facilitating a community of practice, and partnering with other groups on initiatives and projects of shared import.

   2. Changes approved by Danianne with addition of calling out specific other literacies; also change to Public Services Instruction Team (not PSEC)

   3. Coordinated call open until June 12

   4. Next meeting is last meeting of current roster

   5. Lenora incoming chair and call for next incoming chair in future meeting

   4. Orientation workshops

   1. No Barton orientation & postponing workshops after move in days and general CU orientation

   2. Questions: dates, locations (often dependent on getting larger rooms), facilitators, challenges in the past

   3. Aliqae will send email asking for feedback; aiming to get them on calendar by end of month

   4. Classes start Thurs 8/29th (wide fluctuation in attendance in post-instruction start workshops); Also what are students doing Mon, Tues, Wed of that week? ILR doing tours on Tuesday

   5. Orientations often basic info finding and orientation to library; not tied to physical library. Do we have to do them in library? Can we go to wherever they are?

   6. Open houses (not sure what is happening with those right now) - promote other workshops and events there as well

   7. New Student Block party confirmed with Margherita Fabrizio (Aug 30 from 4-6 in Balch courtyard; button making and handing out workshop advertisements and library maps); Camille did last year-high attendance and will need a couple of volunteers for this year

   5. Subteam reports

   1. Assessment

   1. Final CLIQ call sent out for spring

   2. Mel Jensen (former head of public services at Kent State) will be taking over assessment

   3. Gaby’s last meeting and thanks for long service

   2. LibGuides

   1. LibGuides audit working session tomorrow June 5 from 2-3:30 in Catherwood 233a

   3. Programming

   1. End of year event covered by universal design events at Career Development Week

   4. Outreach and communication

   1. Last fall asked to look at categories in CUL workshops calendar

   2. Calendar-specific categories: Blue (unassigned), citation management (pink), data & GIS

   3. Admin categories that can apply to all categories: makerspace (public, non-CUL, private; yellow, turquoise and brown) and video (red)-available to all calendars

   4. Audience categories-e.g. faculty (rarely used)

   5. Internal tags and secondary level categories available as well

   6. Olin, Uris, Mann using; Catherwood using (but mostly for ILR students); Law (set up separate Prepare to Practice 2019 calendar for internal 1L course sections; not public facing); Management uses another system; other units not offering public facing

   7. Categories not consistent-recommendation: consistency is key; outreach team next year should bring together small group actively using categories to pull together cross-unit list; answer questions such as: Do we need Audience tags? Any internal tags necessary? How to handle upkeep of new categories? Possibility of using separate calendars more aggressively (100 calendars & only using ~10)?

   8. Report will be completed and sent to PSEC Instruction

   6. Unit announcements and updates

   1. Two positions open at ILR; feel free to advertise

   7. Next meeting: June 26 (possible ALA and LOEX report outs)
