Meeting Notes

Brainstorming

• What's the difference between workshops and course-related instruction? What vocab are we using to articulate this to faculty?
• Ensure that we use consistent language (between print and web advertising);
• In order to determine what faculty call our instruction sessions, we could polling/look in syllabus/email to see what faculty "call" library instruction sessions that is beyond showing the the library web site. (we need a name that indicates learning take place
• Who is our audience and what is our aim?
• how do new instructors find out about course-related instruction?
• Strategies: examples of what we do, testimonials from faculty, students; Jim (Communications); Strong Library guides; Lance & Tracey (embedded librarians); Fred mentioning going to classes to teach; GIS support from Keith in the classroom; Camille & Jeremy on BEE (Engineering); creating a library assignment specifically for the visit; perhaps we could look at statistics from CountIt! to see who is teaching what.
• Emphasize flexibility and posting new "ideas" - instruction in the news, a RSS feed?
• videotape the R&O forum; Wendy will ask Ryan K. to videotape; as backups, maybe Gwen or Carla. Get consent from librarians; ask them to prepare short sound bytes and stmts.
