Wiki Survey

• Most responses indicated people did not know about the wiki
• In order to avoid reinventing the wheel, the Wiki will be divided into two main sections (Ken)
  • CARLI specific instruction – resources from CARLI librarians
  • General instruction links – Links to PRIMO and other larger scale instructional resources (Chris)
• Promote the Unconference wiki page to encourage contributions

Unconference

• Facilitators can be instruction team members and/or other librarians
  • We can decide based on topic listings and names on the wiki
• Maximum amount of people for a break out session is 12
  • We need to know how many people are coming before we can decide on a set number of topics
  • Registration will occur after Thanksgiving
• Chris is holding room space at Wesleyan, can decrease size of space after registration if necessary
• Merge the facilitator page with the topics page on the Wiki (Kristen)
• Discussion if Unconference should be open to all CARLI libraries and library graduate students - undecided

Spring Forum

• Lorna provided estimated costs for the I-Hotel, see Google Doc
• Other possible facilities included DePaul, UIC
• Approx. 100 people attending
• Tentative topic: Diversity
  • Keynote followed by breakout afternoon sessions
  • Concerns that this topic/speaker will not have a clear library instruction focus
  • Possible title: “Library Services for a Diverse Student Population”
  • Other topics and speakers are still being considered
  • Lorna will be contacting Dr. Sharon Chubbuck for possible dates
  • Dates need to be finalized in January
