   1. Notes:
2. Committee membership changes
   1. Aliqae's final meeting as chair
      1. Outgoing chair (Aliqae) will be notetaker in 2019-2020
   2. Lenora is 2019-2020 chair
   3. Incoming at-large member: Ashley Shea (Mann)
   4. Outgoing at-large members: Tom Ottaviano, Camille Andrews, Latia Ward; outgoing RAU rep: Gaby Castro-Gessner
      1. Thank you for your terrific service to the committee!
3. Report-back: CUL-Tsinghua webinar
   1. Mary: Consensus from Qualtrix, lots of interesting instructional work. Somewhat long, smaller timeslottime slot/fewer speakers in future (won't need as much time for big intro in future?) 8:15am timeslot not ideal, neither is 8:15pm, so timing is challenging. Responses said textbook talk interesting.
   2. Lenora: Ran out of time for Q&A.
   3. In past, asynchronous visits building relationships (specific individuals visiting). One of first attempts to bring relationship down to librarian-to-librarian level. The value is communication/connection.
   4. Proposal: Flipped symposium model. Can pre-record talks ahead of time and just meet to discuss? Possibly better use of time/focusing on librarian connection, but people need to actually watch beforehand.
4. Public Services annual requirements
   1. Annual report submitted 6/19. We are doing annual reports again. Overview: who is on the committee, what we worked on, status. Asked for preliminary goals (fuzzy at this point as needs to be led by current chair). Preliminary budgeting in reports, but b/c committees did not have budgets in 2018-2019 just mentioned funding for libguide training events.
   2. Preliminary discussion - budget request and goals. Current understanding of next year budget: ad hoc requests based on units and committee project needs. Continuing to do what we're doing, given upcoming changes in collection development may affect group (group expressed we're okay adapting). Seems no longer having standard allocation, so need to plan uses of funding ahead of time, make case, articulate value.
   3. 7 years since Cornell-based instruction immersion program. Many new employees could benefit. Is there a possibility for a "roadshow" (similar to research management roadshow) or if there can be a custom immersion program? Worth focusing on developing teaching skills.
   4. Proposal: Look at 2012 cohort and see who didn't access instructor training at that time. Bring in CTI, quantify how many people would benefit, compare cost of working with CTI vs sending instructors to an immersion. Also given changes in instructional styles, having smoething something more librarian focus.
   5. Heather: went to two two-day CTI institutes, Couse Course Design and Diversity & Inclusion. Found more useful than immersion which was more professional development.
   6. Another approach: ACRL Project Outcome, local conferences. Want to do it as part of conference generally, as opposed to standalone. Would have to be part of regional conference – if that's something we organized for upstate NY.
   7. Zoë: Interest in regional data skills/instruction collaboration around e.g. Data Carpentries, instructor sharing (Dianne and Zoë taught in DH intensive at SUNY Binghamton), data instruction crowd would be interested in collaboration on a regional instructor training likely.
5. Orientation
   1. Summary of orientation group planning.
      
      1. CUL-wide tent by Sage Chapel open during both sessions: Friday 12-4 (or 10-4?), Saturday 10-12. Haven't decided on staffing yet.
      2. Early conversations about swag and handouts.
   2. Workshops: 9/4 and 9/10 at Catherwood (4:30); 9/5 (4:30) and 9/7 (noon or 1) at Mann
      1. Post-orientation workshops on calendar part of highly-coordinated shared schedule. Skips labor day weekend. It's an experiment: produces numbers, feedback to inform future orientation planning. Strong numbers last year, but huge lift. Leonra Lenora will be recruiting folks for workshops.
6. Subteam reports
7. News and announcements
   1. Ashley got report approved for CALS: Information Chaos: Navigating Today’s Information Landscape. Open to all CALS.
   2. Zoë: Social Science Data Libraians Librarians have been meeting. Working towards more collaboration on instruction + ref. More soon.
   3. Heather: Teaching a series of workshops with incarcerated students. Because of limited access, teaching research skills and providing offline access. In fall, teaching a credit course with Cornell students who will partner with incarcerated students, gather resources on their behalf. Training with Cornell students. Success getting JSTOR index offline to use, next request to get PubMed. (Doing complete analog and digital delivery at the same time!) Thinking about the core skills to teach, using more play & active learning techniques to learn library skills, appropriate for prison given limited resources.
   4. Heather: Another LibWizard trial. Not broken! Things fixed in 2.0, available for us to demo. Guide on the Side moving to a paid model, now called Sidecar. Another option. Provide feedback to Heather.
   5. Alison: Continuing on another year with CountIt another year . Trying - trying to figure out how to count instruction move forward with a replacement for CountIt right now. July 15th, make sure CountIts in for past year.
   6. BEE, new director coming July 15th.
   7. Search for entry level data librarian position at ILR.
   8. Thank you Aliqae!!!!
8. Next meeting: Wednesday, July 24 at 11am in Catherwood

1. Housekeeping
   1. Welcome Danianne!
2. PSEC Structure and Instruction Committee (Danianne)
   • Still working on formulating the best structure for committees moving forward - instruction is vital so will remain, but there may be changes regarding how it is configured within other groups (i.e. PSEC, liaisons, etc.)
   • What's working? 
     
     • Having an LDLT member of the committee as a direct report to Danianne
   • What are we still waiting to learn?
     
     • Tobi's fellowship with Communication on orientation will be helpful in guiding future work, especially considering that the next experience students have with the library after orientation will generally be through instruction
     • Collection Development Task Force will provide guidance on how liaison work affects selection
   • What's happening now?
     • End of the year event meeting will be set up to discuss this year's event - Danianne will look towards focusing on the student experience
     • Currently working with the Center for Teaching Innovation on how to incorporate LibGuides into Canvas - will work on developing a template across subjects
     • First cohort of library staff attending CTI's "Teaching and Learning in a Diverse Classroom" training - participants will help integrate diversity and inclusion into the entire CUL workflow, including instruction.  Further opportunities to participate in this training will most likely be available.
     • Danianne will be meeting with Sandy Payette to develop an ecosystem map for public service expertise across CUL
   • When it is change coming?
     • It's coming!  Currently working to take everything into account as we move to PSEC 2.0
   • Questions/discussion
     • Wellness is a common theme - how can the library contribute to soft skills development, such as "adulting skills", financial literacy.  What are students lacking?  Who's already doing this?
3. January orientation workshops and activities report-back
   • Aliqae, Chris Miller and Alison taught 12 students during 2 January orientation sessions
   • Olin - Humanities immersion had 18 participants in their January session, a second session is being planned for May
   • Engineering - Scientific Scholarship immersion program had 45 people, very successful
   • Mann - Life Sciences immersion program had 15 participants, had to boost attendance by asking registered participants to bring a friend
4. CLIQ update (Assessment subcommittee)
   • Reminder: don't forget to distribute and record evaluations!
   • Consider moving to a targeted semester model to help increase participation and capture accurate data?  Or do we talk about retiring it all together?
     • Maybe not - CALS requested assessment data for accreditation, maybe talk to CTI about how process of collection can be improved?
5. LibGuides Audit & Accessibility Compliance Recommendations (LibGuides subcommittee)
   • Have a look at audit linked above!  LibGuides subcommittee will report on this at February R&O
6. Teaching and Learning in a Diverse Classroom online course and CUL cohort
   • Skipped due to time and previous discussion in Danianne's comments
7. LibWizard trial (Heather)
   • Tool can be used for many purposes, but Heather is most interested in the tutorial builder and assessments - allows you to build an interactive tutorial that can run with a live website next to it
   • Accessible via the main Springshare dashboard, but trial may have ended?
   • Benefit of this tool over others is its ability to allow users to engage with a live website - see UNebraska for examples
   • Can be used for flipped classroom models
   • Q: What kinds of tutorials could we create that could benefit all of CUL?  One potential problem of developing CUL tutorials now is that catalog will be changing in Summer 2020
8. Announcements and updates (please add unit or other announcements prior to meeting)
   1. HLM: Wesley Chenault started in January as new Kheel Center Director. Sara Palmer will be leaving us in mid-February. Aliqae & Suzanne will be taking over liaison and selection for A&S Economics from Nancy Skipper.
9. Next meeting: Feb. 27
