Minutes

August 20, 2015:

1. Welcome/introductions/housekeeping (note taker)
   1. Meghan will be notetaker this week
   2. 9:30 second Wednesday of the months - regular meeting time - won't work for Chris potentially - might be sending out a rescheduling message
2. Debrief of recent events
   1. Course Design Institute
      1. Lance: Met with David from CTE - CTE pleased with the event - CTE wants to talk about expanding into a librarian certificate program - Certificate award for participation in events and feedback/observation - feedback from participants was positive - discussing follow-up with CTE for the fall
         1. ACTION ITEM: PSEC Instruction Chairs will schedule meting with David Way to discuss next steps
         2. ACTION ITEM: Can information literacy become a training focus within the faculty certification program?
   2. Instruction Support Fair
      1. Chris: Jill, Garima, and Chris were on-hand to represent instruction services.  Aimed at new faculty.  Fairly low attendance. More lead time and marketing needed in the future.  Why was it limited to new faculty, especially when faculty survey showed a need for awareness? - Is "Fair" inviting to faculty?  "Breakfast"? 
         
         1. ACTION ITEM: Meghan will share title feedback with Bonna.
3. Role/expectations of instruction coordinators
   1. Marsha (absent): Difference in expectations between member-at-large on committee, instruction coordinators in areas
      1. Member-at-large - role is participate fully on PSEC Instruction, but the coordinators are representative and should be representing their areas within the committee
      2. Charge - representation from units, usually the Instruction Coordinator 
      3. Marsha's question - are there different models of instruction coordination when there isn't a formal coordinator?
         1. ACTION ITEM: Website Committee needs to update the Instruction Coordinator list: https://www.library.cornell.edu/instruction-coordinators
         2. Possibility for future discussions that bring together the broader instruction community?
      4. PSEC Instruction absorbs some of the "visioning" and training roles of local coordinators with programming intended for the whole Library
      5. Coordinators locally supporting the flow of communication and encouraging local units to participate in programming
4. Priorities for the Year
   1. Shared Instructional Philosophy - bringing instructors together to hammer out a shared philosophy (see U of Arizona) - possibly via Programming committee
      1. Mary: Manager Council agenda - strategic planning - how does instruction and information literacy fit in the overall strategic planning effort? 
      2. Gaby: Jeremy/EMPSL doing pilot videos for the Engineering school - "how to do" videos - working with someone at Engineering - targeting large-format courses - covering some disciplinary content, some broad topics like Passkey - "How to do Research in a Cafe" - faculty are committed to it being in the courses - Kathy at Engineering is the CTE of the Engineering School - CUL branding on the videos rather than Engineering
   2. Mentoring - Peer Review - Peer Observations - still need to get this off the ground through the committee in some way if it's important to us
