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

LibGuides vs subject guides assessment: assess 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

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? Ask Nicole if she wants to add to usability tests?

Mark & ????
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 10/09)
- Recurring projects (already in FY 2009 timeline)
