1. USCC webinar/teleconferences
Review survey feedback: https://uweauclaire.qualtrics.com/CP/Report.php?RP=RP_0JTBMwzlAHDqVKc Jill Markgraf asked group to review survey results. Comments on content, moving beyond user services issues toward library issues in general. More advertising was requested. Other groups may also start offering webinars. One other request was to vary the time, another was to publicize the schedule earlier. The recordings are difficult to find on the Wiki and suggestion to add link to recorded archives in email announcements of upcoming webinars. More interactivity was also brought up and may have to find different tools to use.
2. CUWL conference :
Meet for lunch?
CUWL conference is June 1 and 2nd. Thursday was selected and members will email each other to discuss details.
3. Next CUWL USCC chair: we need one!
current members and terms:
Preference is to someone who has served on the committee previously. Jill found serving valuable and interesting and opportunity to meet people from across the system. Chris Prucha is retiring and Kim Bartosz is moving out of the UWS so neither will be able to serve. Jill is looking for volunteers to serve and contact her if you have interest.

4. Assessment inventory- Brad Gee and Jill have set up a meeting to plan instruction assessment survey. CUWL directors wondered if this would cover “value of academic libraries” assessment. At this time this inventory will cover current UWS practices. Cris posed a question about Student Evaluation of Instruction (SEI) data, and wondered if others were using this data in tenure/promotion and performance evaluation. LaCrosse had been using it as assessment, but the practice was terminated as it was difficult to use same tool for a semester interaction with students as opposed to a one time meeting. Thusly it is a tool with some controversy. Another assessment tool is to gather faculty feedback as well. Challenge to tease out feedback focusing on librarian and student impressions of faculty.
5. Summer meetings?
CUWL conference will take place of June meeting. Whether there will be summer meetings is in the hands of the incoming chair to decide. Communication in the meantime will be via email.
6. Round robin: what’s going on in user services in your library?
Kris (Milwaukee) reported that Milwaukee just finished a satisfaction survey. The survey could be taken at the reference in print, with a form online, and tried to gather surveys via phone as well. She doesn’t have the results of the survey yet.
Kim (Parkside) – collaborated with business students on a survey tracking the knowledge of library resources/services by students. She will distribute the findings to the group if there is interest.
Laura (Superior) reported that Superior will have a new instruction librarian on 7/1/11.
CUWL may make some recommendations for new membership.
