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?
- 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.
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)
- Christine Potter (Director of Global Initiatives), cmp58@cornell.eduwho was recently hired by Laura Spitz to understand their priorities and potential steps forward.
- 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:
- Finish data gathering on CUL side. CUL subgroup will complete
- 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
- Questions that we might have for Xin
- Important things to CUL
- What are the overarching ideas that are coming out of the things that we've gathered?
- Get on Xin's calendar to have a discussion with her on how to move forward. Neely will do this
