1. Introductions:

2. Previous Minutes:

October minutes approved as read

3. Treasurer's Report:

The current balance is $2987.42.

4. Name that interest group contest:

Six entries were submitted. It was decided that keeping the CCLI name or acronym might present a problem for CCLI-North, which has voted not to affiliate with CARL at this time. Judith Downie's suggestion, California Academic Instruction Librarians was modified by Chad Kahl to Southern California Instruction Librarians, or sCIL.

5. Open House Planning:.

Brochures from previous Open House programs were circulated. It was decided that a previous format, which included 3-4 sessions each presented several times, was desireable. Four session ideas were selected: a presentation of the UCLA Instructional Competencies Project coordinated by J. Herschman (UCLA); a panel of attendees at Immersion 2000 coordinated by D. Moore (California Lutheran); a session on pedagogical innovations driven by wireless technologies coordinated by C. Kahl (CSU-LA); and a session on successful active learning strategies, with a call sent out by S.McDaniel (USC) and moderated by A.Wallace (Claremont). The Open House will be held at UCLA on January 5.

6. Other business

• Next CCLI-South/sCIL meeting will be held December 1, 2000 at Claremont.
• CCLI-South/sCIL will approach Esther Grassian and Miriam Dudley formally regarding a possible CCLI-South history project.
• Lynn Lampert of CARLDIG would like us to consider a joint program
• Suggestions for treasury expenditure included sponsoring a Regional Institute for Information Literacy. However, the deadline has passed, and we need to find out whether other organizations in the region have already applied. Gale Burrow is on the IIL Board, and will report to the group after the ALA Midwinter meeting.
• Judith Downie (CSU-SM) told us that the California State University Librarians (South) interest group of CARL has invited CCLI-South/sCIL to cosponsor a joint program to be held sometime between late-April to early-June. Their next meeting is January 5th.
