  1. Minutes of Previous Meeting

    The minutes of the meeting of September 6th, 2005 were approved.

  2. Business Arising
    • Jennifer Haas is now LINC’s administrative contact, replacing Susan Routliffe.
    • #7 from previous Minutes (Sept 6th, 2005) – Fall Workshop registration form – Two library workshops were deleted from the LT3 calendar due to a security breach (hackers).  This caused a bit of a scramble for an alternative location for one of the workshops.  LT3 is aware of this. 
    • #8 from previous Minutes:
      • The International Students Library page requires somebody to work on it. 
      • Google Scholar is being worked on by Kevin Manuel. 
  3. Library tours and a brief report from Orientation Outreach – L. Strome

    Fall 2005 library tours were held in the Porter Library, serving approximately 3000 students. The tours and talks were tailored to meet the needs of various faculties.  Students were given the Fall 2005 Workshop brochures and were advised to take the time to read through the various workshops that were made available to them. Promotional tactics such as Smarties were a huge success again this year.

  4. Meeting with Jennifer Haas – H. Calogeridis

    Helena met with Jennifer Haas to discuss several issues concerning LINC.  Points brought up included LINC’s understaffing, the future of library instruction delivery (the need to reach out in a variety of ways), and LINC’s current projects.

  5. Projects – H. Calogeridis

    Currently LINC has several projects on the go.  These were outlined in the previous minutes. Updates can be found above in the Business Arising.

Next meeting: Tuesday November 1st, 2005.
