  1. Minutes of the Meeting of May 4, 2004:

    The Minutes were approved with minor corrections.

  2. Additional Agenda:

    There were no additional agenda.

  3. Business Arising.

    Item 4—Helena found out from Judy McTaggart that the Distance Education Open House is usually held the 2nd week of September. Orientation for Mature Students has been discontinued.

  4. Fall Orientation (Helena):

    Helena discussed the script for tours of the Davis Library with Anne Fullerton. No one had been designated to write it, but it was suggested that Ted Harms might be willing to work on it, perhaps in conjunction with Melanie. In the past, Melanie has written the tour scripts for both Libraries. Finalizing the Davis mini-guide will have to be done at the last minute, but the initial draft could be started.

    ACTION: Helena will forward Anne’s e-mail about the Davis script to Melanie.

    ACTION: Helena will contact Anne about getting floor plans for the Davis Library so that Linda could start working on the plans for the mini-guide. Melanie will need a copy of the floor plans, as well.

  5. Library Tours Staffing and Schedule (Melanie):

    Melanie presented the proposal, which she had revised based on last meeting’s feedback. After discussion, the group established that tours should continue into the 1st week in October. If necessary, the estimated number of tours could be modified by reducing the number of tours later on in the month.

    ACTION: Melanie will finalize the proposal and re-end it to LINC. Helena will present the proposal to Susan Routliffe.

  6. International Students Web Page (Helena):

    Although the Web Operational Management Group responded that it is possible to add another client group to the left menu bar on the Library’s home page, from a usability point of view, the menu is becoming unwieldy.

    ACTION: Janet will ask Darlene Ryan and Doug Morton for their opinions.

    ACTION: Helena and Janet will present the idea of a web page for International Students at the ISR meeting on June 11 and ask for feedback

  7. Around the Table:

    Helena will incorporate the list of outreach activities into the LINC task list and send the revised list to members. She has updated the “Keeping up with Instructional Literature” web page at http://www.lib.uwaterloo.ca/staff/linc/private/
