PSSCTC Meeting Minutes 2-27-08

 

We discussed communication issues as they related to cross-training possibilities.

 

We decided that the best way to finish the yearly report would be to collaborate via the blog.

 

Possible future trainings were discussed as divided between Karen Southwell- related trainings and PSSCTC-exclusive trainings.

            We felt that Karen’s role would be more of the curriculum focus while ours would

            be more isolated trainings like ref. interviews, database trainings, etc.

 

What to do with the Blog?

            -Meeting minutes, brainstorming, and feedback.

            -Bottom line: USE THE BLOG!!!!

 

BLOG TOPIC OF THE MONTH:

            What should we cover in the reference interview training?  We need to have this figured out within the next couple of weeks!

 

???

Were we supposed to be discussing something on here this week? I don’t have the meeting minutes, so I forgot the specifics…

Posts to the W:\ drive

 [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.

Yet More Meta…

Okay, everyone should be able to post now. If you can’t, or notice a different problem, please let me know. Also, don’t forget the categories. That should help us keep things in order. Post away!

Reference Training

Question

So everyone, I guess I will post the Meeting Minutes here under minutes.  Is there anywhere else you want me to post them?

Anna
