Outstanding goals for FY2010: (also see FY10 completed goals)
Done? | Timeline | recurring | Project | Who's working on it? |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Beginning is done; project ongoing | Summer - Fall 2009 |
| Review & maintain video tutorials. Videos are in Tech TV now. | Angie, Darcy, Courtney (doing an assessment of BITS with Harvard already) |
in progress | Fall 2009 | yes | Review instruction plan and implementation. | Peter leads |
in progress (low priority) | Fall 2009 | Figure out ways to assess graduate student learning. | Barbara, Mark, Peter, Lisa H, & Maggie | |
Done! | Fall 2009 | Redo Writing pages as a LibGuide (Later LibGuide ideas for Patty: maybe Barton Basics, materials properties pages) | Patty D-B with Lisa & Mark | |
in progress (high priority) | Fall 2009 | yes | Think about adding up to 2 special reference-related statistical studies for FY10 | Heather leads, with Lisa H, Remlee, Barbara; coordinate with ISG |
in progress | Fall 2009 |

in progress, ongoing | Fall 2009 | yes | 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?

| by Spring 2010 | yes | Plan Spring Seminar 2010. Brainstorm research and instruction-related topic, find someone to do it, figure out if it will cost money. For staff development. | Barbara |
in progress | by Spring 2010 |

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?
- 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)
To incorporate in FY2010 timeline:
- Ownership of ongoing RISG projects and web pages (review again 1/10)
- Recurring projects (already in FY 2010 timeline)
Past goals:
- FY2010 goals (completed)
- FY2009 goals
- FY2008 goals
