Information Literacy Subcommittee Minutes

Pre meeting: Haiwang gave a demonstration of making animated gifs.

Basically it is three steps:
1) Capture the screen
2) Process/clean up the image
3) Compile/Direct/Edit

He suggests using GIF Movie Gear, which is available from http://www.gamani.com/. If your section could benefit from an animated gif, let Haiwang and/or Susan know.

Sonja Eads joined our group as the new community college representative.

Meeting Begins:

A great deal of discussion on the RFP, here are some high points:

• We would like the consultant to not only recommend, but actually DO the work of revising the tutorial.
• The final product would be a finished, revised tutorial.
• The consultant would not necessarily be based in Kentucky
• Make sure that the language is not narrow to academe (remove phrases like "talk to your professor")

Discussion of quizzes

• Quizzes were to be to Susan by 2/25.
• The quizzes should have explanations of the answers, not just a "correct" or "incorrect".

When possible, use WebZ screen shots whenever possible to illustrate a point.

Digression: should we rename the whole thing - using A virtual library, finding information, using databases

Role of Info Lit vis-�-vis statewide literacy and information literacy

There is an interface planning committee of the technology committee, and it would make sense for there to be coordination from the help screens for the system and our tutorial whenever appropriate.
