4. Workshop Backup
Backup for General workshop was questioned. When possible instructors should ensure someone is fully trained to fill in for them in case they are absent. This may not always be possible because of workload issues.

Action: Margaret will take the suggestion to and ISR meeting for feedback.

5. Communications workshop
Astra is interested in giving a public speaking workshop. It was felt the organisation and implementation of this type of workshop should go to the ISR training committee.

Action: Connie will take the suggestion to ISR training committee meeting.

6. Publications
Library Instruction Committee will assume responsibility of the publication “UWfaculty/graduate students/staff How to obtain the book/article you want”(purple brochure) and the “UW faculty/students/staff How to obtain the book you want” (green brochure).

Action: Jackie will ask Eva to transfer the publication information to Esther. Esther will now be responsible for the publishing of this document. Melanie and Connie will keep this publication up to date.

7. Room 428/407 redecorating
Janet and Melanie are on the committee to make suggestions for redecorating rooms 428 and 407. There was some feeling that if laptops were integrated into either room that they could possibly have a dual purpose and be used in a Davis Library training room as well.

8. Meetings for 2001
Margaret asked that committee members let Rose know if they were going to be away on holidays so the vacation schedule could be updated.
Meeting dates will stay the same – first Thursday of each month 9:30-11

Action: Connie will book the conference rooms for the meetings.

9. Thoughts from WILU – May 2000
