Steering Committee update

Conference Call, 1/27/10
● Discussion focused on the development of a new document, “Guidelines for Next Generation Library Digitization Projects.”
● The group agreed the guidelines should emphasize partnership with the libraries and focus on the type of projects we hoped would come out of this work.
● Ray English agreed to work on another document about capturing the scholarly output of our institutions that would complement the curriculum development grant guidelines.

Conference Call, 2/4/10
● Alan Boyd, Joe Murphy, and Emily Haddaway have put together a series of blogs to improve our communications. Alan will send out invitations to join the blogs to all who attended the Dec. workshop (Directors can also add names)
● The Staff Development Committee will be formed in the next two weeks. Scottie Cochrane and Amy Badertscher are co-chairs and directors will nominate one member from each college.
● The group reviewed a new draft of the curriculum development grant guidelines; we’ll discuss these again at our next meeting and then distribute the guidelines on the blog.
