- Announcements (15 mins.)

- Homework for group: go over the document again.
- Continue the discussion about where we fall short;.
- Take a serious look again at the vision itself and how to update it for 2008.
...
Possible meeting topics for the future:
- Instruction assessment pilot discussion -- how to play that out for long-term sustainability (Jan/Feb -- Angie, Mark, Lisa )
- Assess whether people are watching videos and find them useful? Improve the live capture in DIRC: ok to have short shelf life; things we can do to improve quality? Low cost? Link to them in more locations? Statistics?
- Lisa shows us how to use Zoomerang.discuss organizing a library wide system of sharing information learned at meetings / conferences
- updating the instruction toolkit (http://libstaff.mit.edu/instruction/toolkit/bibliography.html)
- 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)

Done? | Timeline | recurring | Project | Who's working on it? | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
DONE! | September 2008 | yes | Select IAP coordinator team | Remlee will put out call; Angie will help write call and make sure new team has wisdom from previous years | ||||

By end of Fall 2008 | yes | Plan Spring Seminar (brainstorm topic (. Brainstorm research and instruction-related )topic, find someone to do it, figure out if it will cost money); for . For staff development. | Heather & Lisa H. (will bring in ideas from instruction assessment) | |||||
beginning is done; project ongoing | Fall 2008 |
| 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. | 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; RISG is supposed to continue to evaluate?; 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 | ||
Fall 2008-June 2008 | Consider sampling system for stats. Check with Steve/Nina/Sands about using same coding from instruction statistics form for reference (at and away from desk statistics). Lisa will talk to Steve about using GIS stat webform as example. | Lisa H. leads, with Heather, Remlee, Lisa S., Bill? | ||||||
By beginning of Fall 2008; will talk about Fall 08 results in Jan/Feb but continue pilot for 1 year | 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 | ||||||
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 it's not populated yet; linked from RISG wiki under projects and documents. Can start with existing instruction toolkit on wiki. http://libstaff.mit.edu/instruction/toolkit/bibliography.html | ||||||

| end of Fall 2008 |
| LibGuides vs subject guides assessment: assess |
| * new |
| libguides vs subject guides assessment assessing research guides; some subject guides were just a listing of things from vera 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 LibGuide from subject guide | lisa h. as lead |

- Review instruction plan and implementation
- Review instruction toolkit
- Review & maintain video tutorials
- Review & maintain reference manual
- Review & maintain Barton Basics, information navigator, tutorials, etc
- Review instruction assessment tools - are the stats being gathered still relevant for what we want?
Brainstormed ideas to consider to add to the timeline:
- 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?
- Improve the live capture in DIRC: ok to have short shelf life; things we can do to improve quality? Low cost? Link to them in more locations? Statistics?
