      1. Thank you for your terrific service to the committee!
3. Report-back: CUL-Tsinghua webinar
   1. Mary: Consensus from Qualtrix, lots of interesting instructional work. Somewhat long, smaller timeslot/fewer speakers in future (won't need as much time for big intro in future?) 8:15am timeslot not ideal, neither is 8:15pm, so timing is challenging. Responses said textbook talk interesting.
   2. Lenora: Ran out of time for Q&A.
   3. In past, asynchronous visits building relationships (specific individuals visiting). One of first attempts to bring relationship down to librarian-to-librarian level. The value is communication/connection.
   4. Proposal: Flipped symposium model. Can pre-record talks ahead of time and just meet to discuss? Possibly better use of time/focusing on librarian connection, but people need to actually watch beforehand.
4. Public Services annual requirements
   1. Annual report submitted 6/19. We are doing annual reports again. Overview: who is on the committee, what we worked on, status. Asked for preliminary goals (fuzzy at this point as needs to be led by current chair). Preliminary budgeting in reports, but b/c committees did not have budgets in 2018-2019 just mentioned funding for libguide training events.
   2. Preliminary discussion - budget request and goals. Current understanding of next year budget: ad hoc requests based on units and committee project needs. Continuing to do what we're doing, given upcoming changes in collection development may affect group (group expressed we're okay adapting). Seems no longer having standard allocation, so need to plan uses of funding ahead of time, make case, articulate value.
   3. 7 years since Cornell-based instruction immersion program. Many new employees could benefit. Is there a possibility for a "roadshow" (similar to research management roadshow) or if there can be a custom immersion program? Worth focusing on developing teaching skills.
   4. Proposal: Look at 2012 cohort and see who didn't access instructor training at that time. Bring in CTI, quantify how many people would benefit, compare cost of working with CTI vs sending instructors to an immersion. Also given changes in instructional styles, having smoething more librarian focus.
   5. Heather: went to two two-day CTI institutes, Couse Design and Diversity & Inclusion. Found more useful than immersion which was more professional development.
   6. Another approach: ACRL Project Outcome, local conferences. Want to do it as part of conference generally, as opposed to standalone. Would have to be part of regional conference – if that's something we organized for upstate NY.
   7. Zoë: Interest in regional data skills/instruction collaboration around e.g. Data Carepntries, instructor sharing (Dianne and Zoë taught in DH intensive at SUNY Binghamton), data instruction crowd would be interested in collaboration on a regional instructor training likely.
