   1. Notes:
2. Committee membership changes
   1. Aliqae's final meeting as chair
      1. Outgoing chair (Aliqae) will be notetaker in 2019-2020
   2. Lenora is 2019-2020 chair
   3. Incoming at-large member: Ashley Shea (Mann)
   4. Outgoing at-large members: Tom Ottaviano, Camille Andrews, Latia Ward; outgoing RAU rep: Gaby Castro-Gessner
      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 Carpentries, 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.
5. Orientation
   1. Summary of orientation group planning.
      
      1. CUL-wide tent by Sage Chapel open during both sessions: Friday 12-4 (or 10-4?), Saturday 10-12. Haven't decided on staffing yet.
      2. Early conversations about swag and handouts.
   2. Workshops: 9/4 and 9/10 at Catherwood (4:30); 9/5 (4:30) and 9/7 (noon or 1) at Mann
      1. Post-orientation workshops on calendar part of highly-coordinated shared schedule. Skips labor day weekend. It's an experiment: produces numbers, feedback to inform future orientation planning. Strong numbers last year, but huge lift. Leonra will be recruiting folks for workshops.
6. Subteam reports
7. News and announcements
   1. Ashley got report approved for CALS. Open to all CALS.
   2. Zoë: Social Science Data Libraians have been meeting. Working towards more collaboration on instruction + ref. More soon.
   3. Heather: Teaching one credit course with incarcerated students. Because of limited access, teaching research skills and providing offline access. In fall, working with Cornell students who will partner with incarcerated students, gather resources in their behalf. Training with Cornell students. Success getting JSTOR index offline to use, next request to get PubMed. (Doing complete analog and digital delivery at the same time!) Thinking about the core skills to teach, using more play & active learning techniques to learn library skills, appropriate for prison given limited resources.
   4. Heather: Another LibWizard trial (now: Sidecar). Not broken! Things fixed in 2.0, available for us to demo. Moving to a paid model, they will host (helpful as a big issue in past is how to host?) Provide feedback to Heather.
   5. Alison: Continuing on another year with CountIt another year. Trying to figure out how to count instruction right now. July 15th, make sure CountIts in for past year.
   6. BEE, new director coming July 15th.
   7. Search for entry level data librarian position at ILR.
   8. Thank you Aliqae!!!!
8. Next meeting: Wednesday, July 24 at 11am in Catherwood
