    1. - will invite anyone who administers events to a training session to be sure they all know who to use new system.

    2. LibGuides - planning workshop on teaching with LibGuides. Some time in August. Also workshop on LibGuides for liaisons. May be mid-summer, not yet scheduled.

    3. Assessment - have surveys, but need to meet to discuss. Assessment in Action project from ACRL. Projects demonstrating learning. Poster session at ALA for these projects. Chris will send info to list. Kelee, Kelly, Chris and Mary will try to get to this. 

    4. Programming - have not meant since the program. Collecting feedback which was very positive. How do we use lessons learned? Was too much packed into the program? Could have talked about morning program in afternoon, rather than pack in more topics. Could have follow up using video recordings. Need practice! Would he be willing to share ppt slides? Bring David Way continue conversation on this? Big take away for David Feldshuh was that librarians are funny :-) At LOEX biggest thing was empathy in building a relationship with a librarian. 

    5. Information Literacy/Instruction Leadership

      1. Membership/leadership changes - new chair is Kelee Pacion. New incoming chair is Kelly LaVoice. 2 new members, Alique and Malika. Chris will give them an orientation to get them started.

    1. Mary will follow up on the email that she sent to Organizational Development. 

  7. Proposal for Information Literacy Fellowship(s) - 10m

    1. Chris brought this to PSEC steering committee. Suggested getting rid of the word "leadership" in the name of the fellows program. Other questions - how are we going to evaluate applications? Who will do this? Make this more explicit. Ad hoc committee to select fellows in conjunction with Kornelia. Add requirement to get supervisor's approval. Finalize at leadership team then send to LDLT. Who is the mentor for the person selected? Instruction leadership team? Not Kornelia. Mary in collaboration with leadership team. Find space in another unit outside individual's own unit. Discuss office space issue at LDLT - Olin, Mann?

  8. Top-level goals for 2016-17 for Annual Report - 5m Annual report is supposed to have top level goals. What are our key goals for next year?

Membership update. Coordinated call going out soon. We are requesting 3 new members at large. Eric is replacing Marsha as Specialized Humanities cluster rep. 


Website--nothing to report.

Technology and Learning Spaces--LibCal is about to go live. Those without Springshare IDs should contact PTAC. Can we or should we get a file of past Evanced events?

LibGuides--Written policies to be formed. Going to do a workshop in August.

Assessment--Not many surveys from this semester. However librarians seem to be gaining more comfort with the idea, which is a good first step.  Surveys for credit courses should be kept separate.

Programming--Instruction/R&O Event is in two weeks. Still seeking volunteers for 60 second presentation for the teaching performance workshop in the morning; communicating value workshop in the afternoon.
Course Design Institute--very small group including 2 law librarians.

Leadership/Information Literacy Subteam--Working on new incoming chair. Mary saw presentation at conference on scaffolded model from Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, apparently transferred by Kaila Bussert.

ePortfolios--Academic Technologies is looking at the best way to implement them. Purpose is for students to collect their work over their time at Cornell. Cloud-based solution for easy sharing. Facilitates reflection. Chris is a member of the task force.

Online Learning Task Force has started meeting.

Orientation changes--There won't be a central event at Barton.

CUL Open Workshops for faculty Administrative assistants. Instruction has been asked if it could put together workshop(s) on basics, e.g. Catalog use, ORCid, etc.

Proposal for Information Literacy Fellowships--Meghan told Kornelia that instruction needed a person that is consistently leading the IL program. Discussed at PSEC SC meeting. Proposal was prepared by Leadership team.  Give comments to Chris or Leadership team as soon as possible, as they will be finalizing the proposal next Monday.

Notetaker: Jeremy Cusker

 

All-staff meeting notes: For the 'instruction-centric' question discussed ("How do we make students more digitally/information literate?"), Amy and Erin facilitated. Ideas proposed included further collaboration with Center for Teaching Excellence and Academic Technologies. At the event, Kornelia agreed it was important to discuss further and there will be another discussion of this specific point on March 3 at 2 PM (details to follow). Kornelia really wants to see these discussions lead to something tangible.

Sub-team reports:

-Website: New site is live, according to brief note forwarded along by Mickey. Testimonials now included. Workshop listing also live, although 'currency' a bit in doubt. Somewhat hard to find given overall navigation. Also "Instruction" link goes directly to request form. Maybe it would make more sense to instead say "Request Instruction".

-Technology and Learning Spaces: All PSEC Instruction team members, plus Bob Kotaska and Lynn Bertoia, have trial LibCal accounts. All are encouraged to play around with them. Return feedback to Jeremy by end of February.

-LibGuides: Series of fixes instituted, including removal of course guides from subject guides.

-Assessment: had meeting. Emails to all instruction coordinators regarding survey going out. Idea for 2016 fall: Linking assessment to instruction, tie into the goals discussed at the all-staff meeting. New way of creating surveys put into place, as is streamlining compilation of the data. This will likely be a mandate within those libraries (like Mann) where it is not already. Use of the survey electronically may be difficulty in situations where instruction takes place in classrooms without computers in place (i.e. RMC, where paper forms are being used). At Mann, use of the survey is already mandatory and paper forms are not to be used.

-Programming: Lance not present but sent message: Working on May event planning, "Communicating Your Value", a program based on the earlier SPARC talks program. Collaborating with Prof. D. Feldshuh in Theater; program to focus on public speaking skills; he would be the main speaker during this event.

Overall, goal of Programming to have a problem every month now seen as impractical/unrealistic.

-Information literacy: Mentoring and teaching observation program going forward. Will be discussed with steering committee, then brought up at PSEC Instruction again.

 

Instruction brochure: Draft text went out by email. Text generally approved-of.

  2. Sub-team updates - 20m
    1. Website-confirm website is ready to announce. They are going to send the announcement to CUL. Review of draft in meeting. Going to change wording of PSEC Instruction to team and not committee. Otherwise looks great. Change bullet in best practices from “discuss which” to “discuss what”(changed by Nina).

    6. Information Literacy/Instruction Leadership-going to meet with CTE and discuss peer observation form and discuss end of semester event, and institute for end of semester (JR Faculty Institute). Discussion of which folks should go, possibility of a librarian that teaches a for credit class. Ball is in our court on working with CTE to conduct library training in teaching.  What would it look like and why would we want to participate in this? Discussion of for credit classes and pros and cons- sustainability and scalability and how useful are they?  how to we improve relevancy and efficiency? Talk about how to balance all types.

https://confluence.cornell.edu/display/instruct/Peer+Observation

Website subteam: we are good to go with the new instruction request form. Materials to designers later this week. Just a few edits to vignettes. No complicated email routing system. Shouldn't be too complicated to make changes in the future. Nina put together list of credit bearing courses which will also go on the website and will be sent to Kornelia to highlight. Should go live by beginning of semester.


Tech and learning spaces: Jill Wilson is leaving the instruction committee. New chair of tech subteam is Jeremy.

Libguides. Changes to categories were announced in December. We got feedback from three librarians which will be discussed by the subteam but nothing seemed controversial.

Assessment. LDLT will discuss at next meeting on Tuesday how/if the assessment instrument should be generally rolled out. Timing of rollout is discussed; it may be that for the spring  we continue with the soft rollout.

Programming. A meeting has been scheduled with R&O to discuss a spring event. Please share any ideas with the subteam.  Kelly mentioned that Liaison SC might be interested as well. Another programming event being discussed would be about the new mobile video cart at Mann. Finally, the peer feedback meeting is at 3 on January 19.

Ashley Downs went to the Faculty Course Institute in November. Her main takeaway was enthusiasm of professors to try new teaching techniques and their lack of knowledge of what librarians can do, and that librarians should make a conscious effort to attend events like this.

Meghan is leaving Cornell in early March. Kelee will take her place as incoming chair of the team.

Jeremy demonstrated LibCal event registration system. We need to replace the old Evanced system and our review of the new Evanced system revealed some significant problems. LibCal seems to address our concerns. Note that the wait list cannot be manipulated. It doesn't interface with Outlook, but it does create .ics events users can email,to themselves.  Since it looks good, tech subteam will continue to test LibCal.
