Reports from subgroups:

CU group

• • Used the Global Cornell website as a starting point to investigate what is happening at CU to get a grasp of happenings at Cornell and whether the library has presence in activities.  
    • Global Cornell website is generally a portal for folks who want to know more about international opportunities at/through Cornell. 
  • Some larger programs (e.g. Cornell Abroad) are huge and have programs in just about everything at Cornell.
  • Our next big question: What is the best way to share this information with the CUL group and the working group as a whole?   

CUL group

• • Did a survey to units and they are still hearing back from units.  
  • Have created a spreadsheet where they are compiling information, and reaching out to get final bits, will do so by Friday, November 18th, 2016.
  • Also struggling with how best to share information.  

Bigger question:

• What do we want to get out of this data?  What is a sensible timeline to accomplish it?  What do we want to present as an outcome of this work?

Next steps:

• Talk to key people individually, then perhaps collectively in the future.  During initial meeting, share with them information that we've gathered in particular about CUL.  
• We need to share the information with them in a meaningful way.  Talk to Xin and get a sense of her prioritization to give direction to how we present info (in 1-2 pages of visual info) then set up meetings early in the year with:
  
  • Christine Potter (Director of Global Initiatives), cmp58@cornell.eduwho was recently hired by Laura Spitz to understand their priorities and potential steps forward.  
    • Might be a good tactical moment to speak to her because it puts library on agenda from the get go.  
  • Director of Cornell Abroad (global reach)
  • Director of ISSO (international students on our campus)
• Create a document to share by the end of December with the goal to hold meetings with the above individuals in the new year.  
• Share with Xin that we're reviewing the information at the same time she is.  
• Have all meetings done by month of January, use February to compile and work from there.  
  • Xin might be able to help us get onto the calendars of those who we want to meet with in January. 

Action items:

1. Finish data gathering on CUL side. CUL subgroup will complete
2. Between November 21 and December 4, everybody read through all of the information that we've gathered (CU and CUL groups together).  While we do this, keep these things in mind: All will do this
   1. Questions that we might have for Xin
   2. Important things to CUL
   3. What are the overarching ideas that are coming out of the things that we've gathered?
3. Get on Xin's calendar to have a discussion with her on how to move forward.  Neely will do this
