SCOT Team Minutes, March 8, 2005, 2:00-3:00 pm
Present: Connors, Hammett (Facilitator), Linebaugh, Rough, Sakaguchi (Notetaker), Tanaka, Vikor
1. No change to agenda items.
2. Background Briefing
Kevin briefed the group on training and orientation needs for staff members of Special Collections. Kevin also identified commonalties of the Special Collections' and distributed the list he compiled to the group. Tom added "shared dedications" as a Special Collections background culture. All agreed that there is no cross the board training for the SC staff members and an orientation program would benefit everyone.
3. Based on the background briefing, and Kevin's SC commonality document the group discussed the followings:
1) Intent of the team--how sections to interact/better referral system for SC patrons/identify common and in-depth duties of SCs. / identify the nature of services / how to overcome physical locations (
2) Identify types and levels of training required--e.g. MD room training/opening & closing procedures/orientation needs.
3) Nature of the team --semi permanent / we meet less when nothing to discuss. All agreed that we meet regularly once a month.
4) All agreed the group's mission and vision are same as stated in the SC Working Group Report.
5) Tom circulated the ARL training document as a background reading. http://www.arl.org/collect/spcoll/SCTF.ED.pdf
