Beginning is done; project ongoing

Summer - Fall 2009 + ongoing

Review & maintain video tutorials.  Videos are in Tech TV now.
Video tutorials assessment - Have pilot assessments, but then what? Report written by Patty and Darcy; RISG is supposed to continue to evaluate?; writing in annual reports - no one included; Should there be a rotating "video coordinator" position in RISG? Angie already does for many things; Darcy oversees technical side - Angie and Darcy have been coordinating; only data collected is from Google Analytics.  Sitting in awareness, satisfaction, importance space. Should it be up to instruction coordinators to report out on? Where is Steve getting numbers from? Ask Nicole if she wants to add to usability tests? 

Angie, Darcy, Courtney (doing an assessment of BITS with Harvard already)

Think about adding up to 2 special reference-related statistical studies for FY10
Maybe 2nd FY10 special statistics project: Assess staffing models for reference/service including ask-us (falls under RISG as part of reference); ask-us general phone line sits in Hayden

Angie, Lisa H, Mark

in progress, ongoing

Fall 2009

yes

Think about LibGuides and what we could do better.  Reps from local units should make sure the index page points to the best guide (old html or LibGuide) Idea: encourage people to look at LG stats before and after instruction; think about for LibGuides user group meeting; when things are cancelled, they should disappear from db lists. can we make libguides.mit.edu any better? (search box, etc.)  - PRIORITY: When things are cancelled, what happens?

Remlee leads with Angie, Lisa, Mark

Fall 2009

Work to promote user awareness of research guides, maybe with CFG, as described in assessment project plan for 2007-2010.
Ideas: Ask users what they think they should be called in UIG card-sorting exercise or focus group; link to them on mini site; make book marks; promote under news & events section; add to screen savers?

Mark & Heather

in progress: waiting for DIRC committee

Fall 2009

Instruction tools for DIRC: Look at tools (ex: http://www.netsupportproducts.com/products/HigherEdSolutions.htmlSMART Sync) and think about if/how we could use them in the DIRC.  Find out how much it costs, how much would it get used, how easy it is to setup, and the likelihood of it causing any software conflicts on the machine.

Mark & Barbara

in progress (ongoing)
