Think about LibGuides and what we could do better. Reps from local units should make sure the index page points to the best guide (old html or LibGuide) Idea: encourage people to look at LG stats before and after instruction; think about for LibGuides user group meeting; when things are cancelled, they should disappear from db lists. can we make libguides.mit.edu any better? (search box, etc.) - PRIORITY: When things are cancelled, what happens? |

Instruction tools for DIRC: Look at tools (ex: http://www.netsupportproducts.com/products/HigherEdSolutions.htmlSMART Sync) and think about if/how we could use them in the DIRC. Find out how much it costs, how much would it get used, how easy it is to setup, and the likelihood of it causing any software conflicts on the machine. |
Mark & Barbara |
in progress (ongoing) |

Unrequited ideas for agenda items:
- How to support personal information management; Expand cite-help group to include personal information management?
- Consider creating an instruction vision for undergrads.
- Redo Ask Us page: different focus? simpler way to say it? get rid of library lingo ("research consultation"), etc. - notes from meeting where we discussed this
