SECT Minutes, November 14, 2006
Present: Sue Baughman, Joyce Chestnut, Jennifer Hanna (guest), Jenny Hatleberg, Bob Kackley, Amrita Kaur, Jenny Kinniff, Johnnie Love, Liz McAllister, Maggie Saponaro, Jane Williams, Charles Wright
Facilitator: Amrita Kaur
Notetaker: Jenny Hatleberg
Topic: Marketing Plan (Guest: Jennifer Hanna)
Jennifer recommended choosing one activity from the marketing plan she had given Maggie (e.g., a flyer to advertise LC programs), and incorporating it into the current plan. Marketing activities can be added to the plan/grid and rotated off as they are completed. To determine whether or not the marketing efforts have been successful, it is necessary to set goals (e.g., % of filled programs, % of staff attending programs).
Outcomes: Jennifer will work with Maggie and Jenny K. to create a flyer. Jenny K. will gather baseline data to set goals.
Statistics Form: Subcommittee Report (Jenny K.)
Jenny K., Jenny H., and Bob met in October and drafted a form to collect data on internal staff programs (not LC programs). Jenny H. and Jenny K. met with Holley St. Germain, who will write the programming code to support the new form.
Outcomes: Group members suggested revisions to the draft. Jenny K. will follow-up with Holley. After the form is ready, SECT members will pilot it before rolling it out to Libraries’ staff.
LEC Report (Maggie S. and Jenny K.)
Maggie, Jenny, and Johnnie met with LEC this morning. Topics discussed included: inclusion of Staff Learning activities on PRD forms, calendar of LC activities, emphasizing attendance at Safety & Security and Sexual Harassment workshops. The Learning Curriculum will be emphasized in the Dean’s State of the Libraries address. LEC made some suggestions: try to plan program dates further in advance; send reminders of programs for supervisors to the LAG reflector; set up an RSS feed from the Staff Learning Calendar.
Spring 2007
SECT will continue to meet the second Tuesday from 1-2pm. Maggie passed out a list of new meeting dates and role rotations.
Round Robin
Johnnie: Need to increase attendance at New Staff Orientation sessions (staff who signed up did not come).
Liz: Recent scanning workshop for Special Collections staff went really well! Considering whether or not to offer to a wider audience.
Jane: Reminded everyone to attend the State of the Libraries address Tuesday afternoon.
Maggie: SLA videoconference worked in both locations (MCK and HBK), but next time will probably hold in a location where technical support is on hand.
