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:

Heather & Lisa H. (will bring in ideas from instruction assessment)













 





 




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. 
use user awareness survey info


 

* 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

 

 

 

 

 

 

an ideal, not required

 

Think about how we could facilitate sharing what is learned at conferences and other events with colleagues. Is this feasible or even desirable to do?

 

 

required - set a date within FY09

 

Think more broadly about Barton Basics changes and enhancements in light of the new world of searching (Vera Multi-Search, WorldCat Local).
videos; info navigator; barton basics; videos are not accessible to everyone - so can't get rid of barton basics and info navigator; duplication and out of date data - project to update and collapse and coordinate with videos; patty durisin could be interested in working on (already very familiar with all 3); info navigator and barton basics linked off main library page; anita - suggest to keep info navigator as separate discrete tool from barton basics but there is a lot of updating required; should it be converted to libguides? - a lot of images (which tend to go out of date) - once link it to videos can images be eliminated?

 

 

required, but maybe lower priority than some others?

yes

Think more broadly about reference (and instruction) in general & where are we in the Reference Vision plan?
already talked about what was and what have now; next steps write new vision for future; instruction assessment group talked about doing something similar with instruction; should RISG keep as separate streams or collapse together; "reference" vision actually "public service" vision

Lisa H. spearhead

beginning =  done; ongoing not decided

By end of Spring 2008

 

Video tutorials assessment - we'll have the analysis back from Patty at some point in the spring.
have pilot assessments, but then what? report written by patty and darcy; who will continue to evaluate? - supposed to be RISG; writing in annual reports - no one included; should there be a rotating "video coordinator" position in RISG? Angie already does for many things; Darcy oversees technical side - Angie and Darcy have been coordinating; only data collected is from google analytics
sitting in awareness, satisfaction, importance space 
should it be up to instruction coordinators to report out on? where is steve getting numbers from?

Angie, Georgiana

 

start sept. 2008; revision will be complete jan. 2009 
instruction plan timeline  determines dates

 

Instruction Toolkit - think about when and who? The project plan (implementation of instruction plan) will address this, so we'll need to think about what is realistic.
nicole created a wikispace but its not populated yet; linked from RISG wiki under projects and documents 
can start with existing instruction toolkit no on wiki

 

pilot set up for FY09

By beginning of Fall 2008
will talk about fall 08 results in jan/ feb but continue pilot for 1 year

yes

Pilot assessment of student learning. We need to have something in place by the beginning of the next academic year. (will be informed by IAP instruction assessment survey data)

Angie will lead with , Mark, Lisa H 

 

hope to have ready for next FY

yes

desk and away from desk statistics - check with Steve/Nina/Sands about using same coding from instruction statistics form for reference (at and away from desk statistics)
talk to steve about GIS stat webform as example; consider sample week

Lisa H. will check w steve, Heather, Remlee, Lisa S., Bill?
