- Housekeeping
- Welcome Danianne!
- 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?
- 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
- 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?
- LibGuides Audit & Accessibility Compliance Recommendations (LibGuides subcommittee)
- Have a look at audit linked above! LibGuides subcommittee will report on this at February R&O
- Teaching and Learning in a Diverse Classroom online course and CUL cohort
- Skipped due to time and previous discussion in Danianne's comments
- 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
- Announcements and updates (please add unit or other announcements prior to meeting)
- 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.
- Next meeting: Feb. 27
