March 22, 2013 Council Meeting @SUNY Buffalo State / FACT2 Report (sorry for this being late)
« on: March 21, 2013, 09:03:49 PM »
March 21, 2013
I apologize for being late with my report. SUNYLA planning and what not …
1. CIT 2013 is at SUNYIT. This year’s keynote is Bryan Alexander from NITLE. A big theme this
year will be Open SUNY. The Provost David Lavallee will join us again and Chancellor Zimpher
should be there as well.
2. The SUNY Online Learning Summit was a great conference this year. Incredible speakers all
around. I would encourage librarians to consider attending this conference.
3. The 3Ts just wrapped up and was another great conference. Although attendance was low
feedback so far has been very positive.
4. The last round of IITGs are under review. I will announce the wards on the council and was as
the SUNYLA listserv.
5. With Open SUNY being discussed on the FACT2 Council I thought I would share that what
Open SUNY will look like in the end is going to depend on input from everyone in SUNY. I think
library’s in SUNY should make this a priority conversation on their campus and across our
organization. There is so much to think about including, but not limited to access to content
through federated ID. Are we prepared to serve 100K additional SUNY students with our current
staffing levels? Should we think systemness when we discuss supporting students in SUNY?
How do we address Open SUNY in our libraries?
Respectfully submitted,
Mark McBride

Keynote ideas
Larry Lessig - A Harvard professor and founder of Stanford's Center for Internet and Society, this fiery believer foresaw the response a threatened content industry would have to digital technology -- and he came to the aid of the citizenry. As corporate interests have sought to rein in the forces of Napster and YouTube, Lessig has fought back with argument -- take his recent appearance before the U.S. Supreme Court, fighting the extension of copyright protection from 50 to 70 years -- and with solutions: He chairs Creative Commons, a nuanced, free licensing scheme for individual creators. Lessig possesses a rare combination of lawerly exactitude and impassioned love of the creative impulse. Applying both with equal dedication, he has become a true hero to artists, authors, scientists, coders and opiners everywhere.
Neeru Khosla --Neeru Khosla is currently the Co-Founder and Executive Director of CK-12 Foundation, a non-profit organization, which aims to reduce the cost of textbook materials for the K-12 market both in the US and worldwide.

His courses address, among other things, the interrelated effects of the topology of social networks and technological networks, how our networks shape culture and vice-versa.
Cable Green

Cable works with the global open community to leverage open licensing, open content, open policies, and the affordances of digital things to significantly improve access to quality, affordable, education and research resources so everyone in the world can attain all the education they desire.

We are gearing up for SUNYLA 2013, which will be held June 12-14.
We opened our new Steelcase Learn Lab classroom this semester. We have had a good reaction from students and the campus. This room has us thinking of ways we could redesign our curriculum.
We just completed our LibQual survey. We had more participants this year than in previous years due to an aggressive marketing campaign.
Eugene Harvey, our new Assessment Librarian, presented at Educause with our Director of Instructional Resources, Melaine Kenyon (MLS) on a furniture assessment he did and was interviewed in Campus Technology.

Tuesday, June 5, 2012
CIT 2012 was a success. The keynote George Seimens gave an excellent talk about connectivism and networks.
The Chancellor continued her systemness discussion, by defining it as the coordination of multiple components that when working together create a network of activity that is more powerful than any action of individual parts on their own.
Check Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Systemness
The Provost spoke at the conference as well, reinforcing the need to work together to support the students of SUNY. We are in good shape moving forward and we are making strategic efforts to support faculty. One new task group forming will be a group charged with reworking the SUNY Information Management competencies. There are many people who have expressed interest in SUNYLA as being part of this group and once we are given clear direction I will report back to the council and the individuals who have been instrumental at looking at information literacy within SUNY.
The IIT Grants are one such effort. Utilizing funds that once supported SCAP, these grants are to support campuses in collaborative efforts that showcase innovation, reporting both our successes and failures will make SUNY a better organization.
The new FACT2 chairs is Janet Nepkie. An enormous library supporter. Janet has been instrumental in looking into librarian distinguished ranks and the criteria for the awards. She is also a huge proponent for information literacy instruction and assessment to be managed by libraries and librarians.

SUNYLA Info. Lit Task Force Update
We have been making contact with campuses in regards to the Information Literacy Assessment that has taken place on their campuses. The semester has turned out to be problematic in securing a time for discussions between librarians but we have made good progress. Everyone is excited to help and has been very open in regards to their experiences.
I will make a full report in March and also I will try to facilitate a session at SUNYLA 2012 that discusses the findings from this report and begin the discussion on the repository.
I am curious if anyone has been investigating e-portfolios or student portfolios on their campuses.

The semester has turned out to be problematic in securing a time for discussions between librarians but we have made good progress. Everyone is excited to help and has been very open in regards to their experiences.
I will make a full report in March and also I will try to facilitate a session at SUNYLA 2012 that discusses the findings from this report and begin the discussion on the repository.
I am curious if anyone has been investigating e-portfolios or student portfolios on their campuses.

Buffalo State Update
We are almost a full semester into Summon deployment and the feedback from our campus has been mostly positive. Students find the interface very easy to use.
Our president has been sending out an e-letter to the campus updating us on the work and accomplishments of our colleagues at Buffalo State.
The library recently purchased Google Chrome laptops for equipment rental.
We are rehabbing our primary classroom to make it conducive to active learning in the 21st century. Here is an example of one of the furniture options we have looked at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wAG1hvoRGPo
