PSEC Instruction – June 15, 2017

  1. Missing notes for April.  Who took these notes?
  2. Welcome to new members – Tom Ottaviano, Camille Andrews, Mark Williams
  3. Sub-team updates:
    1. LibGuides – U Wisc wants to borrow our LibGuides page.  Kelly created this and is talking with them.  No problem sharing.
    2. Programming – End of year event feedback was almost entirely positive.  Some feedback that morning intro content was unnecessary.  Good feedback about the Fake News workshops.  A little rushed in lightning round.  Consider this feedback for programming for next year. 
    3. Assessment – Team held refresher for Mann Librarians on CLIQ.  Will do these on request.  Will also host open sessions for all librarians.  Team has received data from Spring semester.  Participation is going down.  Reviewed annual goals – rename survey, coordinate with assessment, host practitioner discussions.  Team has created annual timeline.  Will hand this off to next team.  Will close out work at last meeting.  Remaining goal – unit targets for distribution.  Will check in with administration to see if data is useful.  Is it useful for discussions with faculty?  Rely on admin advocacy for librarian buy in.  Xin has asked for priority topics for UL.  This could be one.  Tony noted that Olin librarians indicated that they did not get anything actionable from the Fall 2016 results.  Olin will be surveying faculty that they work with.  Instructors send email to faculty they have worked with.  Are they happy with “the product”?  Kelee and Kelly got very good feedback from their talk at LOEX about assessment.  Impressed that central unit helps with analyzing the results.  CLIQ survey is useful for accreditation report.  Malikah has left Cornell, so she has left this team.  Mary will bring assessment issue to Library Directors Leadership Team and Xin.
    4. Info Lit/Instruction Leadership – Kelly is recruiting instructors for the orientation sessions for August 2017 – Getting Started and Intro to Academic Library.  Intro to Academic Library is our contribution to Cornell internationalization efforts.  Mann Stone Lab was not reserved for the scheduled sessions.  Tom and Kelee will look for other options.  Kelly will follow up with Melanie.  We proposed asking Matt and Sean to record the sessions.  Would this be useful?  May be hard to video an interactive session. Kelly mentioned the online teaching workshop on June 14.  Would like to have same workshop for library instructors – possible end of semester event.  
    5. Master list of workshops – grad students have requested this.  Oya also had a need for this.  Online calendar may be able to show this, but should we do joint marketing?  For example, poster in Olin elevators only includes Olin workshops – should we do a group list for all CUL workshops? What is the goal?  Should we have a marketing/communication sub-team?  Yes.  Change default on libcal calendar?  List vs. monthly.  Is there expectation that workshops are added to CU Events calendar?  Mann and Olin are doing this.  Add widget saying – Not seeing a workshop you want?  Ask a librarian.  Brand the libcal with Cornell branding.  Will continue discussion at next meeting
    6. Travel fellowship – Camille and Sara E.  Presentation time and format tbd.
    7. Kelly – Immersion report - group discussion.  Kelly needs to create a SWOT report in preparation for immersion.  How many librarians involved in instruction?  Is anyone more than 50% devoted to instruction?  Tony and Kelee have over 50%.  What about law?  Mostly credit classes.  Gaby calculated ratio of librarians who teach to students.  Kornelia may have done something about aggregated teaching tally.   Decentralized environment makes it hard to scaffold instruction across the university.
    8. Digital literacy site: http://digitalliteracy.cornell.edu  - did not have time to look at this.  Will need to move to next agenda.
