Gale Burrow will make copies and put together the program folders.
Gale Burrow will give the welcome and Deb Moore will introduce the program.
There have been discussions between the volunteers to create the morning and afternoon activities, but nothing has been finalized yet. The group suggested a morning activity to focus on where you are now, and an afternoon activity that focused on where you want to go. The group thought that it would be nice for the afternoon session to focus on the four areas that the panelists will discuss (Planning, Outreach, Incorporating IL into Teaching, Evaluation). The group suggested 4 interactive activities that people could choose. Focus on strategies and a timeline, and include an ease/impact chart. The color of the interactive session worksheet will correspond to the table tent color. Amy Wallace agreed to mock up a morning activity and four afternoon activities.
Deb Moore will do the wrap-up.
Melanie will write-up the program. She will send the article to Suellen Cox and Christina Woo. Her article will also be posted to the SCIL Website. At the program reports will be solicited from the groups that participate in the afternoon activity and be posted to the SCIL Website

Deb Moore also handed out a list of potential assignments and committees for the regional immersion. Start thinking about how you would like to help.
Elections
Call for nominations went out. Have three people for Secretary, one for program registrar, and a maybe for chair elect. Email Gale if you are interested. Nominations need to be in by May 9, 2003.
Review by-laws
Gale handed out the bylaws. All mentions of sCIL will be changed to SCIL. Article III, Section III is not clear on how the group makes decisions. "Decisions will be made by consensus of the steering committee." Also "appointed positions will be made by the steering committee" will be added. It was also decided that the past chair will chair the Nominations Committee, and that the Nominations Committee will consist of three SCIL members. Gale will make the revisions and send the draft bylaws out to the group for any additional revisions before they are placed on the ballot with the election nominations.

Cesar Caballero is the new AUL at CSU Los Angeles.
Carol Womack at Santa Monica College will offer an online course this summer that focuses on getting faculty to incorporate IL into their courses and the curriculum.
Deb Moore discussed how faculty support for library instruction was increasing at her institution, and there are not enough staff to teach the IL classes. She mentioned that the library used the phrase "research across the curriculum" instead of "information literacy" to make more sense to faculty.

Melanie Remy was a presenter at an extremely popular session on "Information Commons" at ACRL.
