Decisions

• Minutes of the 1/31/13 meeting were approved in advance of the meeting.
• Webinar plans:
  • Brian Beecher from Elgin Community College is a confirmed webinar presenter. Our goal is to have a total of about three presenters.
  • Several revisions will be made to David’s draft call for presenters. CARLI will distribute the revised version to CARLI Public Service Interest Group and Directors e-mail distribution lists. Responses will be due by March 11th.
  • Received responses will be sent to PSWG members as they are received by CARLI. Collected responses will be sent as a single document shortly before our next meeting.
• Instruction Working Group collaboration:
  • Andrew is waiting for a reply from Julie Murphy, his contact in the Instruction Working Group regarding this possible project. He will follow-up and inquire about what planning the Instruction Working Group has already done for a spring or summer program.
  • If the Instruction Working Group wants to proceed, Andrew will suggest that a sub-group from each working group begin an initial event plan. We will suggest a June or July event. We hope that our webinar call for presenters will provide prospective event speakers or leaders.
• Library video project:
  • Release of the redesigned CARLI website is planned for March. The videos component has been a challenging aspect of the redesign and is still under development. Where PSWG videos will be placed within it has not been determined.
  • The method for submitting and uploading PSWG videos has not been determined. Consideration will be given to the large size of video files, the importance of creating a straightforward submission procedure, and the prospective use of file sharing sites for submissions.
• The meeting adjourned at 12:30 PM.

Tasks assigned

• Jen and Elizabeth will proceed with distributing the webinar call for presenters. They will distribute responses as received.
• Andrew will contact Julie Murphy of the Instruction Working Group and report back on their event plans and whether a collaboration is still of interest.

Meeting date
