Steering Committee Update: June 14, 2010

• June 18 workshop (Jessica Clemons joining in for this part of our conversation)
  -- light breakfast will be available since 8:30 arrival time is important
  -- CONSTOR decommissioning representatives to meet over lunch with Ellen Conrad
  -- 3:15-4pm-- optional meeting time for committees, new affinity groups, other breakout groups (this will be self-organizing more or less)
  -- Staff Dev. Cttee will send out reminder this week, incl. parking info
  

• New developments/questions about campus grants
  -- we'll post copies of project proposals at the NGL website
  -- faculty stipends are ranging from $0 to $500-$1000
  -- stipends for librarians are not part of the grant; release time possible, but could be problematic -- should be perceived as equitably set up
  -- Wooster using a large portion of the local project $$ to fund a digital assistant position
  

• Tech. Infr. Cttee recommends postponing hiring the part time Interface Dev. Technician position until we have a better grasp on specific assignments and skills we'll need in the position

• Alan asked for ideas for Catalina's orientation; she'll visit each campus, get an overview of projects in the works; one idea: have a video conference to summarize/discuss all campus projects

Next Steering Cttee conf. call times: 6/21 and 6/30 @ 1 pm
