Announcements:
IB students coming on March 23rd. Those on the Instruction Committee who wish to help with the orientation, should block their calendars (for the morning, at least). We will be having a general welcome and orientation in the morning, at Mann, and break off into discipline-specific sessions later in the day.
Lance: Next year's Reading Project? Is Lance announced that the Freshmen Reading project book has been selected. It's Homer and Langley by E.L. Doctorow. He asked if there more that the library can be doing ? Homer and Langley is the book. An opportunity for Instruction or around the Freshmen read? Is the a question for the Instruction Committee, Reference and Outreach or both?
Tony: Blackboard migration update; training in late spring will be provided across campus in late Spring. CIT has decided not to include the Library content in the new interface (Ask a Librarian link, Library button, Refworks link under tools) although it will be there in those courses that have been migrated. On a related note: Within the new BlackBoard "Community" tab, Tony suggested we may wish to have a Services for Undergraduate section.
We Committee agreed that we may want to use this as an opportunity to think about how to work with faculty to customize our content in BB.
