Original Charge:
Streamline all services and support of audiovisual technologies and circulated technical items at Mann Library, making the user's experience as close to the model of "one stop shopping" for their A/V, peripherals and room reservation needs as possible, while also ensuring our ability to provide relevant technical training and documentation for users. Also look for opportunities to partner with other CU/CUL units (CIT, ATC, others) to provide instruction on software applications that are already taught in other units (i.e. MS Office products & Adobe products, which are taught by CIT staff in CIT labs, etc.). Find ways to solicit feedback in order to determine needs for technologies, documentation, instruction, etc. Along with the Mann PAC group, Access Services, Howard Raskin, help with policy decisions relating to A/V spaces. MaLT group should drive technology-related policies, but these should mesh cleanly with other related policies.

Additional considerations/tasks:
...
Bring in a class (or classes - there was one from Human Ecology) and evaluate their use of the space and any improvements/changes that could be made as a result. Sahara Byrne (Comm) held a class in Bissett in Fall 2008. Camille brought a class in (SP 2008) to evaluate the space, before it had any of the A/V equipment, furniture, etc. Camille will also contact Gary Branch re: class use of Bissett.
