Special Projects

  • Temp labor survey working group- Courtney, Steve, Sara, Rachel

    • Steve added Courtbot on Qualtrics -- so this is a great way to go, way more features than SurveyMonkey

    • We are moving forward with the survey ourselves (as opposed to working with SAA/getting money etc/spending money)-- basic data analysis

      • Can hand over raw data to new SAA group

      • Draft of questions-- touch base in January to finalize questions to get the survey out in early spring/end of winter.

    • Work towards creating a space for people to submit materials rather than us creating the materials ourselves (list is not comprehensive..some ideas) modeled after Library Design Share Portal, Library Workflow Exchange

      • Meeting guidelines

      • Advocacy/marketing materials (open houses, etc)
