*Goals for FY2009:*
|| Done? || Timeline || recurring || Project || Who's working on it? ||
| DONE\! \\ | September 2008 \\ | yes \\ | Select IAP coordinator team \\ | Lisa S, Roshni, Moses \\ |
| DONE\! \\ | October 2008 \\ | yes \\ | Establish list that lays out ownership of certain projects (virtual reference pages, instruction pages, wiki, etc) | everyone \\ |
| in progress \\ | By end of Spring 2009 \\ | yes \\ | Review & maintain video tutorial; make better plan for updating in future; get stats on videos | Angie organizes, with help reviewing & updating \\ |
| in progress \\ | In progress; subgroup will begin in Jan 2009 \\ | yes | {color:#000000}Think more broadly about reference (and instruction) in general & where are we in the Reference Vision plan?{color} 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. | {color:#000000}Lisa H. spearhead; Heather M, Bill{color} |
| in progress \\ | {color:#000000}By end of Fall 2008{color} \\ | {color:#000000}yes{color} | {color:#000000}Plan Spring Seminar. Brainstorm{color} {color:#000000}research and instruction-related{color} {color:#000000}topic, find someone to do it, figure out if it will cost money. For staff development.{color} \\ | Heather & Lisa H. (will bring in ideas from instruction assessment) \\ |
| in progress \\ | Fall 2008-June 2008 | \\ | {color:#000000}Consider sampling system for stats.{color} {color:#000000}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.{color} | {color:#000000}Heather leads, with Lisa H, Remlee, Bill{color} |
| in progress \\ | {color:#000000}By beginning of Fall 2008; will talk about Fall 08 results in Jan/Feb but continue pilot for 1 year{color} | \\ | {color:#000000}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){color} | {color:#000000}Angie, Mark, & Lisa H {color} |
| \\ | Start Sept. 2008; revision will be complete Jan. 2009; instruction plan timeline determines dates | {color:#6600ff} {color} | 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] | Mark will make draft and send out to group \\ |
| | Start Oct. 2008; in progress through Spring 2009 \\ | yes | Review & maintain Barton Basics, information navigator, tutorials, etc. \\
\\
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? | Remlee, Peter, Angie, Anita; Keep Nicole & Darcy in the loop; Patty working on Info Nav \\ |
| | Have a plan by end of Fall 2008 | | 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 \\ | Lisa H. leads \\ |
| | End of Fall 2008 \\ | yes | Review instruction plan and implementation | Peter |
| \\ | Spring 2009 \\ | yes \\ | Review & maintain reference manual: Link local reference manuals; dovetail with documentation infrastructure project? start wiki with ideas for manual | \\ |
| | Spring 2009 \\ | | Review instruction assessment tools - are the stats being gathered still relevant for what we want? | |
| \\ | 2009, 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. | \\ |
| \\ | June 2009 \\ | {color:#000000}yes{color} | Reference statistics (need to be done by middle of spring to be ready for next fiscal year) | \\ |
| \\ | June 2009 \\ | yes \\ | Call for new members (every year/through PSLG) | |
| Beginning is done; project ongoing | Summer 2009? | | 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? | Angie, Georgiana, Courtney (doing an assessment of BITS with Harvard already) \\ |
*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|https://wikis.mit.edu/confluence/x/dgiTAQ])
*To incorporate in FY2010 timeline:*
\\
* [Ownership of ongoing RISG projects and web pages] (review again 10/09)
* [Recurring projects|Recurring projects ] (already in FY 2009 timeline)
[FY2008 goals] |
