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.

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.

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.

« on: September 23, 2011, 02:59:26 PM »
This forum is designed to solicit feedback on the possible merger of CIT & the SUNYLA conferences.
I will start by asking a few questions?
1. Who regularly attends both the SUNYLA & CIT conferences?
2. Can you see both conferences running together during the same week, but on different days?
3. How do you merge the conferences without SUNYLA losing its identity?
Let's talk.

In the Spring of 2010 a task force was created by the SUNYLA Council to take a look at Information Literacy Assessment across our 64 campuses. The initial purpose of the task force was to attempt to collect the assessment instruments and tools used on all the campuses. Then president Angela Weiler asked me to chair the group and Dunstan McNutt for SUNY Delhi agreed to help me in constructing the vision and direction of the task force.
We decided to break the task force into four groups. The groups are as follows and forgive me if I have not mentioned everyone’s name involved.
SUNY Information Management Competency Team:
Members: Dunstan McNutt, Alice Harrington Walker, Jim Nichols, Carleen Huxley
TEAM GOAL: To ensure SUNY standards and Middle States (MSA) are on the same page. Will look at the Guidelines for the Approval of State University General Education Requirement Course, Information Management competencies and make suggestions on changing the competencies. It would be useful to compare these to the Middle States standards for Information Literacy to address overlap, and to broaden our assessment efforts to meet both the SUNY-wide requirements and those of our accrediting body.
This team has completed their tasks and have compiled data showing the disparities between what Middle States requires and what SUNY is looking to in the Information Management competencies.
General Information Literacy Assessment Team:
Members Karen Shockey, Penny Bealle, Kathie Flynn, Michael Daly, Dana Longley, Michelle Toth
TEAM GOAL: Will look at each institution within SUNY and find out what they do to measure general information literacy skills. If they pay for an assessment, build their own, or use some other instrument for measurement. Also, they will approach the institutions that build their own assessments and ask if they will be willing to share. Also, this team will detail how the assessments are administered.
This semester all SUNY libraries will be contacted and asked to share their experience with information literacy assessment. A representative from the task force will call and ask you a few questions about assessment on your campus and have a conversation about what your campus has used, is using and what they plan to use to assess students information literacy skills.
Disciplinary Specific Assessment Team:
Members: Rebecca Oling, Darcy Gervasio and Kimberly Detterbeck, Wenli Gao
TEAM GOAL: Will contact institutions (based on their response to the Gen Info Lit team's survey regarding discipline specific assessments) and ask if/how they build assessments geared towards specific disciplines or if they use some other assessment tool to measure student information literacy skills within a subject area. This team will also detail how the assessments are administered.
This team will reach out to the institutions that have discipline specific assessments for information literacy and see how they are administered, if they feel it has been successful and ask if the campus would be willing to share the tool
Development & Metadata Team:
Members: Logan Rath
TEAM GOAL: This team (of one right now) is responsible for collecting the assessments and making the instruments searchable via a repository that is accessible to everyone in SUNYLA.
The hope is that the task force will complete its goals by SUNYLA 2012 and present its conclusions at our annual conference. From there, we will start to construct the repository.
