2. Initiative two to re-evaluate the use of our tutorials includes committee members:  Joe Hardenbrook,  Terri Huttenlock, Amy Glass, Kent Carrico and Molly Beestrum (she will work with both). The tutorial group will try to determine which direction to go in next.  There are no usability studies on the existing tutorials.  The questions are:
   
   • Who is using the tutorials?
     
   • If they are not being used, why not?
     
   • Is there something about them that makes them un-useable (e.g. – audio)?
     
   • To evaluate the group will check out other online catalogs for examples;
     
   • Other approaches, such as using Trivial Pursuits game to teach skills have been used, for example at North Carolina Univ.
     
   • There need to be call outs – pointing to Ref. Works perhaps.
     
   • Investigate other software tools for creating tutorials
     
   • This group will set the agenda for the tutorial work.
