Hey everybody, it’s my last day! If anyone feels like stopping by, my Special friends (SPC I mean, you’re all special too!) brought in some munchies. Luckily I don’t have a lot of real “work” to get done! If you can’t come by, I just wanted everyone to know I’ve enjoyed working with you all, and I wish you successful, informative trainings in the future. I’ll miss you!!
Great meeting this morning! Very productive. 
I just talked to Ted, and he said he’s available to run the customer service training on May 22nd or 29th. Jorge, if you can talk to Rebecca and see if she wants to do the reference training on one of those days, that would be great. If she can’t do either of those days, we decided to just do the trainings separately. Also, we won’t be doing training at Dirac because of the renovations, so there’s no need to schedule for that. If anyone wants to have a meeting before that time, feel free to suggest a date. Otherwise, we’ll meet some time after the trainings.
I went to speak to Rebecca yesterday to ask about the training before we contacted Ted/Kirsten. From Lisa i found out that Rebecca is totally booked this week with the performances of evaluations and AoR for the librarians and will be out of town all of next week. Sorry guys my slip up, i planned on adding this to the blog yesterday. In short Rebecca is not here. Do we reschedule for some date(s) in the beginning of the summer semester? or do we still try and have the training? (Anna has mentioned that Ted is probably pretty booked next week too)
what do we think we should do ?
Hey all,
Ginger brought up a good point. I can not recall if we decided on one or two training sessions. Did we end up deciding on 2 training sessions, one at each library? or did we end up deciding to leave only one since we had Rebecca teaching part?
The second question is regarding who will talk to each of the librarians? We need some final decisions on the times and sessions and we can approach the librarians. I think we should do this real soon. (today or tomorrow) I am out for a few days (5/1-5/5) and would like to have this set up before then.
I can talk and confirm with Rebecca, if we have some people volunteer to talk to the other two librarians.
I can try and write the training plan proposal. It will be difficult for me to get it out soon. I am swamped making schedules but i think i can do it the beginning of next week. I am working the overnight for finals week so i can write something early in the week.
If everyone is cool with it taking that this long i can make something. At this point i am also thinking that we can try and have the training not the first week but the second one. I am thinking that since we are short on time we can bump the training to some time either on May 6, 7, or 8th. This give everyone the chance to get back from FLA and settled in.
What does everyone think?
Hay all, Should I print out the yearly report and give it to Becca? Is there anything that I need to change on the report?

Brown Bags:
The committee has hosted three brown bag lunches.
The first was April 9 and 10. The topic of the lunch / dinner was library spaces. We had quite a bit of heated discussion.
The second was May 22. The topic of the lunch / dinner was Staff Relationships. We had a heated discussion, but it turned out to be more for customer service.
The third was October 25. This was a discussion at about what trainings we would like to see happen.
Trainings:
We have had the Career Center come to the library and have them discuss different items that they offer. This was May 2, 2007.
We also had an Excel training given by Dawn.
We were going to have Word training but it has been postponed due to the person moving away.
Do we have a draft of the annual report we’re supposed to submit to Becca? I’m guessing y’all talked about it at the meeting someone (ahem!) missed. Could someone post it for everyone to look over and discuss? Merci!
Were we supposed to be discussing something on here this week? I don’t have the meeting minutes, so I forgot the specifics…
[SE: I went ahead and posted this for Jorge.]
I think some of the important documents, such as meeting minutes and any training documents, should also be kept on the W:\ drive. On there we have most of the files and it would be agood place to back some of them up. It would also be nice to have a place where all the committee activities are recorded to make it easier when writing up the annual report.
Is that cool, or do you all have any different ideas?
On a second note i am going to talk to Rebecca this week, about some of the issues that we mentioned in the meeting and I’ll discuss on here what she says.
