Educational Initiatives Council
Mission:
The Educational Initiatives Council advises the AUL for Educational
Initiatives on policies, programs, and resources related to advancing the
Library's educational and outreach role. The Council, with
representatives from multiple library units, provides an important
communication link necessary for coordination, collaboration, and
continuing education across libraries and disciplines on all issues
related to teaching and learning.
Charge:
The Educational Initiatives Council is advisory to the AUL for Educational
Initiatives in areas such as:
- Library instructor development, evaluation and support
- Library Liaison role focused on teaching and learning issues
- Engagement of undergraduate students, graduate students, and faculty
- Support for campus teachers (faculty, lecturers, graduate student instructors)
- Instructional materials and learning objects
- Copyright related to teaching and learning issues
- Assessment and statistics
- Integration with campus systems such as bSpace
- Virtual teaching and learning spaces
- Physical teaching and learning spaces
- Educational technologies
- Library exhibits, exhibitions, showcasing student work
- Course-related (faculty-identified and student-created) materials
- Campus-wide educational initiatives and programs
- Models for curricular and departmental support for courses and curriculum
- Partnerships with campus units (faculty development, service learning, student athletes, writing, etc)
- Partnerships and outreach beyond campus (alums, schools, museums, etc)
The Educational Initiatives Council is one of five function councils
within the Library. It conducts business in open meetings and the
discussion topics and decisions are recorded in minutes which are
distributed to the library staff in a timely manner. Depending on the
nature of the issue, input may be gathered from other venues such as
Subject Councils, Roundtable, Cabinet, or the Administrative Group.
Membership:
Members are drawn from the membership of the library-wide instruct@lists,
seeking a mix of representation for arts and humanities, social sciences,
area studies, sciences and engineering, as well as from the various types
of libraries in the organization. The Head of Doe/Moffitt Instructional
Services will be a permanent member; other permanent members may be
considered as needed. A representative from one of the Library's campus
partners will be invited to serve as an ex-officio member of the Council.
Although terms on the council will normally be two years, the inaugural
members will serve through June 2010 to synchronize the appointment to
this council with other library councils and committees.
