...
Random Possible meeting topics for the future:
...
- Ask Us Page - currently, the information is presented in terms of how the user wants to get in touch with us. Should we revise this so that emphasis is on subject selector page?
- Spring Seminar Planning -- Consider having a philosophical discussion related to instruction; base on work instruction assessment team began? (Lisa, Mark, Angie)
- Reference Statistics Tool - reconsider stats in terms of sampling, in terms of tool that Sands might create. Lisa needs to follow up with Mackenzie/Steve.
- Establish list that lays out ownership of certain projects (virtual reference pages, instruction pages, wiki, etc)
Goals for FY2009:

next year after we have more survey results | Work to promote user awareness of research guides, maybe with CFG, as described in assessment project plan for 2007-2010. | |||
| * new |
| libguides vs subject guides assessment assessing research guides; some subject guides were just a listing of things from vera but many were much more extensive; make clear that subject guide doesn't have to look like database listing; make sure subject guide person knows they can control link from main library page to real subject guide and then link to libguide from subject guide | lisa h. as lead |
