KCALDD Quarterly Membership Meeting

Date | time 2/15/2023 2:00 p.m.| Zoom

Attendees: Addison Lucchi, Virginia Shaffer, Ginger Williams, Sean Bird, Beverly Kelly, Kathy Downs, Todd Knispel, Mark Daganaar, Holly Mercer, Casandra Norin, Melanie Massey, Randy Roberts, Scotty Zollars, Debra Newton

Call to order at 2:00 pm

Introduction of Attendees:

1. Attendees introduced themselves, their institutions, and job title.

Networking and Discussion:

2. Holly Mercer began a discussion about the decision of the University of Vermont Library to go to an all-digital platform. Link to the article here: https://vtdigger.org/2023/02/08/vermont-state-university-to-close-libraries-downgrade-sports-programs/ The lively discussion followed with questions about if the space would be there without books or personnel and how important it is for libraries to have space for student and a physical collection as part of the resources. If university have programs online, there is a need for more electronic resources. A second article was mentioned that claimed the university has sent out a poll that asked students if they were getting what they needed from digital resources. Approximately ten percent of the students responded to the survey answering yes. They would eventually sunset the reference services and go to a 24/7 access model with online help. Discussion also looked at how libraries are a great space for students but because students don’t use as many physical books there is a trend of less circulation and the very real idea that we might lose our space as physical book collections get smaller and students have other spaces on campus to use like student centers.
3. Next a discussion was started by Ginger Williams regarding the KAR-88-28-2 bill that KBOR was introducing stating that some out of state universities and online do not need to have a library or have a librarian. A link to the specific list of the institutions was provided to the members by Addison. https://kansasregents.org/academic_affairs/private_out_of_state/private_and_out_of_state_institutions It is possible that their accrediting body requires them to have a librarian and library but if they do not then none is required by KBOR. It was brought up that already library directors are being given additional titles and duties. Scotty mentioned that he knew of a library directory/institutional research/… that was in the library one to two hours a day and the rest of the time was left to work study to man the library. Plus COVID making a comeback and AI technology is all feeding into the situation.
4. DEI was mentioned in the context of additional duties. Holly asked how many institutions have librarians with DEI incorporated into their library duties. While not all the libraries have their own DEI departments or offices most of them have DEI committees that are aligned or associated with the libraries. Randy mentioned that the Regents have Tilford groups some of the librarians are heavy involved in that. He is working on a statement for the Pitt State library that touches on special collections, cataloging records, historical archival collections including the content of the collection and any in house or virtual collections they do, that might include offensive language or images. He is trying to get ahead of it before there is a need for it. If anyone has a statement drafted, he would love to read it. Scotty mentioned that recently at Labette the art instructor did a presentation for Black History Month where the artist called the work “Negroes at Work” or “Negroes doing this” and it was found offensive by some students. The instructor asked Scotty to do a timeline of how words have changed over time. Holly mentioned that her Black History Month program was presented by a Librarian from Syracuse University who spoke about archives and the selection criteria. At the very end of the program they were Zoom bombed by pornography. She was wondering if it was because of the program topic or if it was just a random bombing. They have never had an issue before. She agrees that the idea of a statement is really interesting. Randy currently has student groups reading a short statement to see how they react to it. He is concerned about some of the views and downloads of content that is available from special collections, like picture of Hitler and Mussolini, and things in the institutional repository on topics like eugenics that are being viewed and downloaded. He wants to know how to present the information in this environment. Ginger mentioned that it hard to celebrate the success of online collections because there are certain things you might not want to draw extra attention too. Her institutional repository hit 1 million views over Thanksgiving break.
5. Addison brought up Student success as a topic. How do you show the value of libraries and librarianship for student success? His library is attempting to use assessment and other methods to show the value to get more resources. They have lost 2.5 positions in the last 5 years. Bev stated that the Student Success Office/Department was just moved into the library and that has resulted in working together better and advocating for each other. Bev feels like the library has lost its hierarchy to Student Success. Randy said that Student Success and First Year writing center is in the library. They try to work closely with them. Incorporating some library instruction into the student success workshops. Mark said his library went through a renovation right before the pandemic. The goal was to center the resources in one area so now the resource centers are on the first floor and the library is on the 2^nd and part of the 3^rd There are benefits and some challenges based on the structure like hours and staffing that is different from the library so students might show up in the library to go to the resource center on a break and while the library is open the resource center is not. Holly stated that they have a student success committee that is looking more at institutional initiatives and how different departments are working together. She tries to partner with other department or create initiatives. They have Science café once a month where individuals present on different topics. They also have a literacy program called Conquer that is considered one of the student success Initiatives.
6. Mark is curious to know about the Open Access and how it originated. Scotty gave a background of how it started. Were there things in our collections that we could share among us? It was narrowed down to Open Access resources that we could share with each other. It was never figured out how to share the information. Addison mentioned the KBOR OER resources page. https://www.kansasregents.org/academic_affairs/open-educational-resources/oer-resources K-State resources with some open access https://lib.k-state.edu/services-support/teaching-resources/new-literacies-alliance/ Mark recalled the topic of Digital Library of America and collaborating to make things available to share local, regional, and state collections. Scotty expounded on the idea of having one space that was shared so that all the different resources could be in one place. Different institutions may have different resources that can be put together. It was decided to compile different links to resources in one document. Any links or resources that can be shared should be sent to Virginia to compile and weed out duplicates. Between OER guides that are already made to other sites individual use if they are put together in a searchable fashion it would be helpful.
7. The next meeting is going to be at CULS which is in Topeka this year. May 25^th and 26^th.
8. Scotty brought up Chat GPT. Holly said her institution has a committee that is trying to come up with some concrete steps on how to handle student using it. Kathy’s institution has faculty members who have put it in their course to teach how to use it appropriately and what its strengths and weaknesses are.
9. Addison thanked everyone and the meeting was ended.

Meeting adjourned at 2:57 pm

Old Business

Try Online Meeting Format: here we are. Success!

Viability of KCALDD

o If we keep it, what do we need to differently?

o What do we need to do to regain our focus?

Todd Knispel-Neosho CCC: feel like a newcomer. (4.5 yrs) Not sure.

 

Anne Crane-Friends (5 years) Max did a lot with this committee. The present situation is of downsizing to wearing lots of hats. Not sure how to make us stronger, except meeting more often.

 

Shari-Archives at Emporiasitting in for someone, no response.

 

Micaela-Director of Butler CC seems like the biggest challenge is distance and travel budgets dissolving. Grateful that we are meeting apart from KLA, energy-wise. Strength is relationships. Point in fact, retiring this year. Encouraging the group to create an informational format to learn from each other.

 

Kevin Smith Dean of Libraries at University of quick story: a university library committee appointed by library senate—faculty getting service in. Almost every new group comes up with a new idea. The one that comes up is “have you thought of consortia?’ for buying resources. Idea is among Kansas, and that doesn’t make much sense. Reinforce Micaela’s idea, focus on relationships. Build relationships online.

 

Bev Kelley-Central Christian College, McPherson

 

Virginia Shaffer-virtual meetings are doable in an hour. Knowing different directors and having those relationships is helpful. Having regular meetings can help facilitate a lot more give and take, even if it doesn’t have anything to do with consortial buying

 

Randy Roberts-Pittsburg, reminder that this question context is from previous meeting where attendance was low. Recognizing Ray and others about providing instructional resources. We can change the Bylaws if we want to. One meeting along with KLA in bylaws.

 

Mike Haddock associate dean at KState U,

 

Ray Walling, Baker-want to speak as past chair of Resource Committee. Recommend that chairs are invited in Executive Committee meetings. In Resource sharing committee specifically, Kevin’s point is variety of institutional goals. Success in resource sharing APA from many different vendor’s platform to one platform. APA PsycInfo and Psyc Articles. Another idea is streaming video: many vendors willing to offer discounts as it’s starting out, but not for resources that have been used for a decade or more.

(Micaela question-will Covid change that?-maybe)

 

Marjorie-open access resource use is a possible topic of discussion.

 

Kelly Weber-Kansas Wesleyan at Salina. Agree that relationships are important. Currently splitting shift with one other person. Online meetings are invaluable. Seeing people, pandemic or not.

 

Sara Owen Independence CC: me and an assistant. Relationships are important. Lots going on. Narrowing the focus would be good. Umbrella consortium would be great.

 

Scotty-my vision: committees based on type of institution.

Micaela-question difference from CULS? Both at state level.

 

Allan-Dean of Libraries Washburn universities. Been around a lot 13 years. Value in partnerships. Like Kevin, have a library committee, and hear more about shared catalog over campus. On task force for open access resources.

Katherine Jones-WSU Tech, new to Directorship. New, not sure about it, but relationships and resources collaboration.

 

Cassandra-pretty new here. Really like online format.

 

Chat message: appreciate online meeting format

 

Kathy Downes-WSU: Allan mentioned commonalities, need to explore resources that we have in common, it may be good to look at instructional initiatives. KBOR has come out with a plan about building the future. It might be good for this group to look at this to see how this group

 

Marjorie: New Literacies Alliance is a resource for open access information literacy instruction.

New Business

Viability of Current Standing Committees: Group Discussion.

 

Randy, it has been a couple of years since those committees were active. It seemed like the emphasis was on D and D acting on committees, but as we expanded committee membership with specialists. EC should look into changing standing committees.

 

Sara-question: committees: Instructional Initiatives, Resource Sharing, and Special Project. Previously, digital scholarship. Do each of those committees have something they take on yearly? They were begun and ongoing. I can take heat for not taking on new charges.

 

Kevin-restructuring would be a good idea

 

Resources Sharing success in answer to a question: Ray-MLA Int’l biography was the one that we had success on.

 

Randy-have feeling that membership would like new approach that the EC should address?

 

Allan-Washburn, yes.

 

· New Items of Business from the Floor: Members

Neosho: understanding of group: difference between CULS and KCALDD. Why not together?

Micaela: came out of KS Dept of Ed, rather than come out of ALA.

Ray: that means that members of this group do not have to be members of KLA. CULS is meant to be educational. This group is meant to do things together in collaboration.

Adjournment: Scotty Zollars

Committee Reports

Executive Committee – Randy said nothing to report.

Instructional initiatives – No one from committee present, report to be submitted and distributed to KCALDD electronically.

Special Projects committee – Steven G said the committee had not met.

Collections committee – Angie Rathmel, chair, sent in report. Report read by Randy. Mary mentioned that the Ebsco representative had expressed some concern about consortia purchases in light of PALS no longer being a section of KLA. Concern seems to have lessened after the APA contract went through.

Digital Scholarship – inactive, Gloria Creed-Dikego is a member of the committee and said she had no idea as to their charge.

Old Business: None

New Business:

Discussion was held about the fact that the executive committee needs to revisit the charge for each standing committee.  If the existing charge is still valid or if a new charge is developed, then committee leadership and membership will be informed.

Informational Items:

Micaela mentioned that a state legislator from the Wichita area “was concerned” about something that has been approved and has been happening for some time.  The State Legislator wants Butler County property taxes to drop, and complains that 80% of Butler students are not from Butler County.  The idea is to lower taxes by cutting Butler’s mill levy (already the smallest in the county). The state legislature will not likely revisit the idea of a cross-county lines reimbursement for students we educate in our service area or beyond. The legislator wants the board of trustees to lower the college budget proportionally.

It was noted that Johnson County Community College and KU seeking approval to modify the KBOR Policy Manual for bachelor degrees, reducing the requirement for credit hours earned at the four-year, baccalaureate, degree granting institution from 60 hours to 40 hours of upper division or major hours.  Currently discussions on this policy change are being held at the campus level.

“Proposal to Enhance Student Transfer Pathways and Collaborations Between Johnson County Community College (JCCC) and the University of Kansas (KU).  JCCC and KU jointly seek to change KBOR Policy Manual Chapter 111.A.9 Degrees B. 2a-d.  Problem: Serving transfer learners is an essential practice for four-year institutions and warrants a fresh review of policy definitions.  Currently KBOR Policy Manual Chapter III.A.9 statement (b) indicates bachelor degrees must include 60 credit hours from institutions with a majority of degree offerings that are at the baccalaureate level.”

Meeting was adjourned at this point so attendees could attend other events.

Mary Hester called the meeting to order. There was no business so Mary opened the meeting to reports from committees and discussion on the previous session about resource sharing led by Ray Walling.

 

Mary reminded the group that we need committee participation. Nominations are encouraged from members and directors (no longer restricted to directors). We have had some success in that. Addison Luchi from Mid-America Nazarene has volunteered to serve on the Instructional Initiatives committee. Marjorie Snyder has also agreed to serve on that committee. There was more discussion about information literacy resources later in the meeting.

 

Ray Walling summarized the previous session that detailed the business of the Resource Sharing committee. Commitments from a number of new committee members and a chair for the committee are needed by December 31^st in order to act on a new initiative proposed by KCALDD. The committee plans to send out a Google doc poll in order to add to information they currently have from PALS and KLDC.

Mary asked Randy about Literati. No report was given at that time.

Marjorie reported that Southwestern College is using open information literacy resources from NLA, New Literacies Alliance, a group that includes KU Medical School, KState, and others. The multimedia lessons can connect to courseware gradebooks. (SC uses Blackboard). Someone with more information also spoke about the NLA lessons working with Canvas. The link to the available lessons is http://newliteraciesalliance.org/available-lessons/

The next official meeting of KCALDD will be during the CULS Conference at Prairie Band Casino in Mayetta, KS.

Committee Reports

1. 1. Instructional Initiatives—vacant, Chair

• No report

1. 2. Collection & Resource Sharing—Ray Walling, Chair

The CRSC has submitted the annual renewal confirmation for institutions participating in the MLA International Bibliography consortium purchase. With 10 institutions participating in FY18, each institution will be receiving a 15% discount off the subscription rate, saving a total of $6,250.

The CRSC, with approval of the council, was tasked with investigating opportunities for consortium discounts for streaming video products. On January 10^th, offers were extended to council members for Ambrose Digital, Docuseek 2, and Films on Demand. A follow-up email was sent on February 1 with an additional offer from Alexander Street Press. All four vendors offered webinars for KCALDD member institutions, which were poorly attended.   To date, only one trial has been setup for Ambrose and only two institutions have reached out to Docuseek2. The deadline for responding to Ray regarding the Ambrose Digital and Alexander Street Press offers is May 12^th. The committee also investigated opportunities for discounts with Kanopy and Swank Digital Campus, but no offers were extended for these vendors.

There has been some discussion about the committee taking on responsibilities for the PALS and RLDC renewals; however, significant concerns have been raised. Ray will be talking with Lea Currie and Mira Greene in mid-May about this possibility.

Committee Reports

• No report

1. Collection & Resource Sharing—Ray Walling, Chair

• Ray shared that last year, the MLA Bibliography database was the only one we’ve negotiated to date. Announced that our timeline would be adjusted and to watch for emails about resources to investigate within the next two weeks. He hopes the committee will be ready to talk to vendors by early spring semester.

1. 3.Digital Scholarship—Lisa Craft, Gloria Creed-Dikeogu, Co-Chairs)

• No report.

4. Special Projects—Gromatsky, Chair

• Steve is looking at an online directory of contacts for each school. He also suggested that we find a list of OER resources to share across the group to avoid recreating the wheel each time a school moves forward with OER resources. The 4-yr Regent schools have some experience with this and are willing to share.

Other Business/Announcements

• Mary shared Lori Gotsch has stepped down as chair of the Instructional Initiatives Committee and asked for volunteers to serve on and chair that committee. It was suggested that we either delegate that position to an Instructional Librarian or to ask Lori to appoint one of her staff to step into that position. The question was raised if we still have this committee concentrate on Information Literacy.

Thank you to all who participated in our membership meeting at KLA and all the great ideas that were presented for projects. Among other things, we talked about creating a scope and sequence for Information Literacy so we had a guideline to wh at others are teaching at what level) and a guide to quality open access resources.

Now we need some help. If you would be willing to donate your time, or that of an employee, to the cause by serving on a committee please let a member of the executive committee know.

The spring membership meeting will be during CULS which is in Lawrence April 27 and 28.
