Joint end-of-semester of event w/ Liaison Steering
New instructor checklist
Libguides, next steps
Unit updates
Subteam updates
- Public Service Team leads asked to share prospective goals for the upcoming year (2021-2022) at a meeting on March 15.
- Possible ideas:
- Instructional videos to accompany the "Introduction to Library Research" page on the CUL site
- Videos that demonstrate common practices for creating accessible LibGuides from the start and updating LibGuide accessibility LibGuide (collaborating with Kevin and Darcy)
- Revise CLIQ/Devise new assessment strategies for CUL instruction, working with instructors and administration to set guidelines for what would be most helpful for them
- Create a checklist for new library instructors
- Continue to lead discussion-based programming on topics of relevance to CUL instructors and informed by university and library priorities (article discussions and end-of-semester event(s))
- Inclusive teaching principles and practices to be intertwined with many of the goals above (include on new instructor checklist, create programming/events that center inclusive pedagogy, continue focus on accessibility, etc.)
Joint end-of-semester of event w/ Liaison Steering
- Ashley talked to Alison Shea about co-sponsoring an event with Liaison Steering. Thought so far is that a casual, drop-in event in/around mid-May, 1.5-2 hours, holding space open for liaisons and instructors to share current practices that they have been involved in.
New instructor checklist
- Lenora sent a Google doc (restricted access, ask for permission if you can't open it) just as a start. Can pursue this in the coming year as it might be a longer term project
Libguides, next steps
- See goals above
Unit updates
- Nothing specific, but general consensus that online teaching is time consuming and we are mostly eager to get back into the physical classroom (when it is safe to do so)!
