August 26, 2020 meeting 10:30 am Zoom
Present: Jeremy, Lenora, Christina, Mel, Marcie, Chris, Nina, Kelly, You Lee, Laurent, Lynn

1.) Hello & brief personal check in (introduction: You Lee Chun, Kroch Asia representative)

2.) How's orientation going?

  • Law - some aspects are easier over Zoom
  • Engineering - excellent attendance for FA 20. Orientation sessions filled up and needed to be expanded for increased capacity
  • ILR - FA 20 has been a more limited orientation then previously. Includes orientation video with brief introduction to library staff and Q&A on Canvas. Feels disconnected from students compared to the usual mode of interaction. For grad orientations, students are home and attendance is good.
  • Chris led the RA Orientation this year and used tools in Poll Everywhere (word clouds, surveys, competitions) to help make it fun.

3.) Sub-team reports (esp: goals for this semester, etc.)

-LibGuides

  • Marcie will serve as subteam lead
  • LibGuides accessibility deadline of Oct. 31, 2020 is fast approaching
  • Pilot for Canvas LibGuide integration was successful in SP 20 except for some Freshmen Writing Seminars; trying to find work-arounds for these

-Outreach

  • Chris is currently alone on Outreach while Ashley is on leave, but coordinated with Nina to get briefed on previous projects; looked at Instruction pages on CUL website to see if up-to-date

-Programming

  • Lenora is subteam lead
  • Planning to host drop-in discussion for CUL instruction librarians to share tips about online instruction in next few weeks (Chris noted Sept. 10 Brown Bag regarding teaching online)
  • Also considering reading/discussion on topic related to different learning styles
  • Lenora will check in with Kelee Pacion about follow-up to April IvyPlus "Crash Conference" on research teaching and learning

-Assessment

  • See below

4.) Mel Jensen: The CLIQ survey, 5 years (!) of data, use of the CLIQ survey for at least one more semester

  • Mel is looking at data from 9 semesters and planning to pull into a report by our September meeting; will seek team input at that time.
  • Discussed with Gaby whether it makes sense to continue using CLIQ this semester under current circumstances, and with declining response rate
  • Decided to continue and to promote in hopes of improved use.

5.) Possibility of hosting webinars on online instruction during the semester from library organizations

6.) 'Low-overhead' intra-CUL conversation during the semester (paralleling the one from April) on online teaching

  • Another idea for programming subteam; could promote one or more webinars and schedule discussion to follow
  • ACRL instruction section is a source to check for training
  • Marcie recommended Teaching with Primary Sources https://rbms.info/tpscollective/

67.) Possibility of having mini-conference with librarians from other institutions to compare notes on instructional work both last semester and this one

  • Could be modeled on RAD meetings in format
  • Possible topic of sharing online tools

78.) Possibility of reviving end-of-semester gathering for instruction staff w/ presentation highlighting online teaching after end of semester

  • How did online teaching go this semester?
  • Programming subteam will consider possible dates; typically right after exams, but that falls late this year
  • Laurent offered to contribute on the experience of in-person teaching this semester

98.) (Quick) Review of goals

  • Please review subteam goals (in July minutes below and on team charter); let Jeremy know if there should be changes
