1. Education Technology Services: Current Enterprises (Victor Edmonds):
Described the functions of Educational Technology Services including
webcast services, IT services in conjunction with IS & T, Library digital
imaging, and intellectual property issues in cooperation with Bill Hoskins
in the Office of Technology Licensing, learning management systems, course
management, document posting, and course websites.
He emphasized the need for the centralization of services, partly on a
recharge basis, including e-reserves. Discussed initiatives to expand IT
enabled classrooms, production video capability, teleconferencing, and job
interviews.
ETS website URL is media.berkeley.edu
Web-based courses are kept on-line for about 2 years (mostly science
courses) at a recharge of $2000 per semester (negotiable, and grants may be
available).
A new ETS website will be launched in March.
ETS already has contacts with the Teaching Library and the Library Media
Center (Gary Handman).
2. Education Technology Committee: An Overview of Initiatives (Philip
Stark, Chair):
Announced that content from UCB Libraries will be open without a proxy
server.
Kerberized service will be based on Calnet ID.
ETC wants to expand Library contacts: metadata, storage of digital
objects, mark-up of lectures.
Described the Learning Management System Project: roster information,
calendars, room scheduling, course websites (including syllabi). Access
details to this system are not fully determined as yet. But the first
implementation should occur during Spring 2002, and some access will be
limited to instructors only.
There remains the question of the Library's role in multimedia creations
by students and the baseline support for faculty needs.
ACTION ITEM: Patty Iannuzzi will arrange an Early Bird on ETC/Library
relations.

5. Recording guidelines (K. Wayne):

guidelines.
ACTION ITEM: Wayne will present guidelines to other councils to regularize
minute taking and distribution.
6. New Business:
California Digital Library.
Wayne briefly discussed the recent CDL Workshop on bibliographic
instruction and asked members who participated if they might be interested
in recreating it for A&H Council members. It was agreed that a meeting
with bibliographic instruction as its theme was desired, but might be
difficult to effectively fold an all-day workshop into two hours.
Next meeting: March 7, 2002, 10-12am, 303 Doe
Recorder: E. Byrne.
