General updates:

  • Going forward, notes will be taken on Confluence (not Google Docs) right away, but viewing will be restricted to SCSST until the team is ready to make them public. When the note-taker has finished taking notes she will let group know (via email) that they are ready to be reviewed by the team.
  • Nancy will tentatively attend meeting on 4/23
    • AJ will let Nancy and Unit Heads know

    • A number of graduate students from CLA have attended, heard about the workshops through CLA listserv
    • Might be time to assess these workshops for the future
    • Do 2 people need to teach them or is 1 person sufficient?
    • RL: Should we offer another "train the trainer" for the workshops? Encourage other staff to teach them in the future?

Plan for Meeting with Unit Heads, 4/23:

  • RL: Start by framing where we're coming from re: embedding scholarly communication
  • Talk about results of survey with liaisons
    • KD: Will create an infographic based on survey, keep it broad (not focused on unit)
  • Go section by section on the Scholarly Communications Skill Areas document and ask unit heads if they have any questions.
  • Question for unit heads: What's the best way to get everyone to a place where they are comfortable and they don't feel overwhelmed?
  • Question for unit heads: What about the other librarians? Ambler? HSL? Ask Jenny how we should reach other librarians at HSL....
  • Question for unit heads: What should the timeline be?
  • Question for unit heads: What would you like your role to be in terms of this project?
    • Should this be a goal on someone's PDP?
    • Should this be a unit goal?
  • ET: Stress that scholarly communication is different depending on the discipline
  • KD: Ask Steven if he can communicate to Sandi about the meeting
  • Next steps: AJ will prepare meeting agenda for 4/23, and share with team before sending off to unit heads
