V. Continuing Business

A. SCIL Works 07

i. SCIL Works 07 is scheduled for Feb. 2, 2007 at Cal Poly Pomona. The

welcome will start at 9:00am and the program will run from 9:30am to 1:30pm. Registration is now open.

ii. Registrar, Nancy Getty, reported that due to a change in CARL policy, attendees checks can be processed sooner than was previously possible. For example, we could now have attendees' checks processed as early as the day after the cancellation deadline rather than waiting for all event costs to be settled before checks can be processed. This will make it easier for attendees to get reimbursed from their institutions.

iii. The SCIL Works 07 breakout session descriptions are now available on the SCIL website.

B. LOEX 2007 Planning

i. Proposal selection
Groups of reviewers are making selections for the various presentation tracks. Review team leaders will meet Dec. 14 to make final decisions. Up to 7 student posters will be accepted. The deadline for poster proposals is Jan 19.

ii. Speakers
A faculty panel is being developed by Katy French for the Saturday morning general session. This panel will consist of non-librarian faculty who teach information literacy/competency concepts in their courses in various disciplines and settings. They will describe their experiences and offer insight on how their work relates to library-based instruction. Preparations for this panel continue.

iii. Local Arrangements

Duffy Tweedy has received a current list of fees from the Bahia Hotel. He will use this updated data to make final cost calculations based on forms provided by LOEX.

C. SCIL Description on CARL Website

Dominique Turnbow and Catherine Haras reviewed the description of SCIL for the SCIL and CARL websites and drafted proposed revisions. The revisions were discussed and suggestions will be incorporated. The final draft will be reviewed by Katy French before being sent to CARL for the interest group web page and posted on the SCIL website.

D. Proposed SCIL Assessment Repository

The group discussed plans for developing a SCIL Assessment Repository. A task force will be created by incoming Chair, Debbi Renfrow. This group will identify goals for sharing assessment tools and analyze possible plans, including alternatives or additions to a repository. Some of these might be hosting a day-long event on sharing assessment ideas, creating an assessment tool blog, or increasing opportunities to share assessment ideas on SCIL's established listserv.

E. Next Meeting

Feb. 2, 1:30pm-4pm, Cal Poly Pomona (following SCIL Works).
