Just to get the ball rolling I've put down some of the things that we've talked about in the meetings and then augmented this by suggesting a possible structure for planning and documenting.  Feel free to edit at will!

The audience for this document is internal. 

 Goals of Liaison Model

1. Increase Communication with Academic Units (and eventually non-academic units)
   • Identify contact points (in unit and LMC)
   • Promote Information Literacy
2. Enhance Engagement with Administrators, Faculty, Students, Staff, and Departments
   • Promote partnerships with faculty
   • Promote Library Services
   • Promote student success
3. Enhance Collection Development and Maintenance
4. Facilitate public relations
5. Enhance Instructional and Information Literacy Support
   • Add value to instructional programs
6. Effective assessment
   • Cooperate with departments in planning assessment
   • Define measurable outcomes
   •  

1. 1. Here is one goal that caught my eye from Baylor U's Liaision program, for the group's consideration:  Every GCC faculty member knows by name and by sight at least one librarian and feels comfortable calling him or her. (SAM)

Potential Planning Components

Initial subgroups indicated in red.  We will all revisit PR/Comm later. 

1. Planning Objectives (EM) - whole group
   • Defining Mission / Vision / Scope (EM)
   • Deliverables and Timeline (EM)
   • Assessment
2. Public Relations and Communication  (EM)
   • Establish a set of possible strategies, methods, tactics (EM)
   • Establish a graduated set of general and measurable goals for the first year and thereafter (EM)
   • Possible components of this area: (EM)
     • Share information about library services with faculty (from Mesa CC) (RS)
       • Notify faculty of newly acquired materials in their area (CMo)
     • Coordinate with faculty regarding assignments using library resources (from Mesa CC) (RS)
   • Whoever works on this area, here is an article by Stephan Abrams (Sirsi) on customer relations that had some concrete suggestions: http://sirsi.com/Pdfs/Company/Abram/InfoTech_Mar2006.pdf (SAM)
   • Distance Learning component
3. Instruction and Information Literacy (EM) - Sheila and Christine
   1. Establish a set of possible strategies, methods, tactics (EM)
   2. Establish a graduated set of general and measureable goals for the first year and thereafter (EM)
   3. Possible components of this area: (EM)
      1. Collaborate with faculty in promoting information literacy (from Mesa CC) (RS)
      2. Collaborate with faculty to develop info lit student learning outcomes that may be embedded in their curriculum/assignments. (SAM)
      3. Deliver instruction - classes, workshops  (McMaster, modified) (RS) tailored to course assignments/competencies (CMo)
      4. Prepare subject & course guides (McMaster, modified) (RS/CMo) for ad hoc and long term academic needs (CMo)
   4. Distance Learning component
4. Collection Development and Maintenance  (EM) - Mark, Russ, and Ed
   1. See linked Collection Development document, below.
5. Subject / Departmental Assignment Plan & Workload Management  (EM) Jose and Christine
   • Consider / propose methods for initiating program (i.e. which departments) (EM)
     • consider FTSE, headcount by dept (or course prefix??) (CMo)
     • consider course content and/or recent changes to curriculum for discreet components of info lit skills (CMo)
     • consult with library colleagues at other campuses for successful approaches, depts most likely to be amenable (CMo)
   • Consider methods for 'assigning' librarians to units (I'm assuming that there will be some input from librarians in the selection process) (EM)
   • Draft possible plans (EM)
   • Distance Learning component
6. Other general planning elements -- introduction / support / future plans / extensibility / promotion (EM)
7. Other Areas of Growth with established liaison areas (i.e. web support, Blackboard, research, grant projects etc.)  (EM/CMo))
   1. Consider other areas of growth within liaison areas (EM)
   2. Establish a set of possible strategies, methods, tactics (EM)
   3. Establish a graduated set of general and measureable goals for the first year and thereafter (EM)
   4. Facilitate faculty use of library resources for their own research interests - e.g. RSS feeds, journal email alerts (CMo)
   5. Inviting departments to share their news and achievements, asking how we might help sustain student success in their disciplines (CMo)
   6. Distance Learning component
   7. Possible components of this area: (EM)
      1. Develop web based support materials by subject or department (EM/RS)
      2. Investigate potential projects and grant opportunities for research-based collaboration (CMo)
      3. Cooperate with Faculty Connection Center and/or TED for promoting faculty workshops, targeting specific disciplines but open to all (CMo)
