4) Training New Staff Members

LibQuest – Who is going to train the Tech Support Student in LibQuest?

Marianne is Porters Tech Support Supervisor

Jonathan is Davis’ Tech Support Supervisor

Training for MLIS students is going well.

The scheduling template will be restructured for the next term.

Recommendation for next time is that the selector’s questions will be sent to the subject specific training leads for Davis and Porter, and then be distributed to the co-op students.

After a schedule has been set, if things don’t work out, it is up to the selector to suggest a new time and notify Connie.

5) Annual Staff Survey Implementation

a) Dates for distribution, collection, analysis. Carol will send out an e-mail notifying staff that the survey will be distributed.

 6) Lib Guides for MLIS co-op students.

Jonathan showed us the on-line Tech Support Technical Manual. It was decided to show the present co-op students, and get their thoughts on this manual.

Action: Kathy will talk to Jennifer about this and invite the co-op students to take a look at it.

7) Spotlights/Training Sessions – Deferred to the next meeting.

8) Tasks to do: updating websites etc. – Deferred to the next meeting.
