FY10 goals that were in progress when RISG dissolved:

Done?	Timeline	recurring	Project	Who's working on it?
Beginning is done; project ongoing	Summer - Fall 2009 + ongoing		Review & maintain video tutorials. Videos are in Tech TV now. Video tutorials assessment - 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, 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
postpone for reorganized groups	Fall 2009	yes	Think about adding up to 2 special reference-related statistical studies for FY10 Maybe 2nd FY10 special statistics project: Assess staffing models for reference/service including ask-us (falls under RISG as part of reference); ask-us general phone line sits in Hayden	Heather leads, with Lisa H, Remlee, Barbara; coordinate with ISG
in progress	Fall 2009		Continue undergrad instruction assessment pilot	Angie, Lisa H, Mark
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? (search box, etc.) - PRIORITY: When things are cancelled, what happens?	Remlee leads with Angie, Lisa, Mark
in progress (low priority)	Fall 2009		Work to promote user awareness of research guides, maybe with CFG, as described in assessment project plan for 2007-2010. Ideas: Ask users what they think they should be called in UIG card-sorting exercise or focus group; link to them on mini site; make book marks; promote under news & events section; add to screen savers?	Mark & Heather
in progress: waiting for DIRC committee	Fall 2009		Instruction tools for DIRC: Look at tools (ex: http://www.netsupportproducts.com/products/HigherEdSolutions.htmlSMART Sync) and think about if/how we could use them in the DIRC. Find out how much it costs, how much would it get used, how easy it is to setup, and the likelihood of it causing any software conflicts on the machine.	Mark & Barbara
in progress (ongoing)	Fall 2009		Coordinate efforts for developing teaching skills for library staff (ex., plan Spring Seminar or brown bag, and market Teaching & Learning Lab IAP events to all staff)	Barbara & Heather
in progress	by Spring 2010		Investigate Knowledge Base ideas (Hermes, LibAnswers, etc.)	Lisa leads, with Heather, Bill, & Darcy
cancel, due to furlough timing and no volunteers to coordinate	June 2010	yes	Plan JulyAP 2010

Unrequited ideas for agenda items:

How to support personal information management; Expand cite-help group to include personal information management?
Consider creating an instruction vision for undergrads.
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

Child pages
