Accessibility and the Library – Kathy M. sent out e-mail to Annie and Janet to see if they are interested in doing this, she received a positive response.

Deciphering – Kathy M. is part of a group developing this. Kristin has been very helpful, and is willing to do a spotlight before she leaves at the end of her term.

Web 2.0 – Zsuzsanna spoke to Alison regarding Webbased independent training. Possibly April 2010.

5) Cross Training  -

The proposal is to create a cross training series in which spotlights and training sessions will be identified as part of a cross training series. At the end of each session questions will be handed out in which participants will have about a week to answer, and then reconnect with instructor with the answers.

Deciphering conference series could be one. Statistics and TDR could be our first session.

Subject Guides  

Kathy M. will write up a proposal to give to Sandra and Agnes to see if it will fit their session. She is still waiting to hear back from Doug regarding Chat Technology.
