1. Approval of Minutes from February 28 meeting
   This will be deferred until our next meeting.
2. Announcements (CARLI, I-Share Users’ Group, others)
   Lorna Engels and Jessica Gibson reported that the new I-Share libraries are loading data, testing data loads, and going through training. It is expected that they will be up and running for local circulation early this summer, and will move to the UC later after the shared catalog is rebuilt. The new libraries include: Trinity International University, Monmouth College, Knox College, the Eastern Illinois Community Colleges, Carl Sandburg College,  and Saint Francis Medical Center College of Nursing in Peoria.
   The deadline for the July Illinois Immersion ’07 is this Friday March 30. Team members or other interested parties from their institutions are encouraged to attend.
   The Resource Sharing forum which was cancelled due to bad weather in February has been rescheduled for April 18th.
3. Tutorials: Status Update
   At this point, the patron page is basically ready for release. There are still some things to be added to the librarian page, which is dependent on clearing up some issues of space with the server. It is anticipated that this can be addressed now, as the person who will be working on it has returned from vacation. When the changes and updates are made, the team will perform one last review of the page to be sure that all content is the most current, final form.
   Each team member should review the test instance of the UC (http://develop.carli.illinois.edu/uc_dev) and consider where contextual links to his or her tutorial(s) might be best placed; report this to the listserv by next Monday April 2. We will pass the information on to the OPAC team so that those links can be created in the UC.
4. Next Steps
   1. Forum
      The date for the Forum has been set for November 7, 2007, at Heartland Community College in Normal, IL. Currently the team is considering a theme focusing on learning styles and teaching styles. It was suggested that participants could be directed to an instrument assessing learning or teaching style online prior to attendance, and that Beth Woodard of UIUC be asked to speak on the topic, as the invited speaker for the morning session. Courtney and Susan Avery will follow up with Beth. Chad offered to serve as a back up speaker as he will be developing and presenting on a related topic this summer at ISU.
      The afternoon breakout sessions will include: a session with Immersion participants (and perhaps instructors), covering their experiences and how they have implemented what they learned – Lorna and Chad will be working together to organize that breakout; and, a session covering technology and integration of library instruction or training, whether delivered through a course management system, a wiki, or in other ways – Amy and Joe will be working together to come up with some guidelines for that session.
   2. Survey
      The team decided to aim for a May 14th distribution date on the survey. Luann and David will send a first draft of questions across the listserv by Tuesday, April 10th, and the team will do a first round of editing for wording prior to our next scheduled meeting on April 23. At that meeting, we will finalize the wording and move forward with getting the survey constructed online using SurveyMonkey (or whatever tool CARLI chooses).
5. Terms of Service
   Three team members have one-year terms, and those terms will end on June 30 of this year: Luann, Courtney and Leslie. Members who will be cycling off the team who wish to be considered for another three year term will need to submit another volunteer form to CARLI; more specifics on this process to come from IUG in future.
   Courtney will not be continuing on after her term is up, so current committee members are encouraged to consider their interest and availability for serving as chair; this decision should be made by the team in the new academic year.
6. Schedule Next Meeting
   Our next meeting will be Monday April 23, from 9-10 am. The number to call is 217-265-6999.
7. Adjournment

Respectfully submitted,
Courtney Greene
