Topic: IRST update Guest Leader: Cindy Todd Outcome: Cindy Todd gave an update from IRST. IRST is working on their work plan. They are trying to dream up a new model for reference, such as ways to integrate virtual reference, and ways to integrate the work people do on other desks such as the Government Documents desk or EPSL, etc. IRS-T has been asked to examine the desktop applications available to users on the public workstations and to suggest changes if necessary. IRS-T is exploring "information commons" and "learning commons" models to see what elements of those practices might be useful here.

Topic: Information Literacy Team Update Outcome: Barbara shared a handout prepared by Peggy Antonisse summarizing the CTE workshop she attended on motivating students.
Topic: Upcoming library initiatives Time: 20 minutes Leader: Sylvia Outcome: Continue to discuss the initiatives which Lori mentioned to the subject team leaders. We have been asked to consider what we might be able to contribute and to raise any questions we might have. We decided we need more information before we can really discuss this.
Addition to the agenda: Topic: Team web page Outcome: We discussed the team web page. Sylvia let us know that eventually we will have to have a public web page with a work plan. Beth does not want to be solely responsible for managing the page. She agreed to show others how to upload the minutes.
