Minutes of April 18, 2002

Noon, Burling Conference Room

Attending: Lee Sharpe, John Stone, Bob Grey, David Harrison, Doug Caulkins, Victoria Brown, Christopher McKee, John Kalkbrenner

ISC will discuss course material distribution at the May 2 meeting. Christopher will distribute a draft of the Library Reserve Policy to be discussed in division meetings before May 2.

It was suggested that ISC draft a statement on student information literacy. This year's committee does not have time to commit to this discussion. This topic will be suggested as a charge to next year's committee.

Discussion of curricular development funding and guidelines is scheduled for May 16 meeting.

Discussion of curricular development proposals:

Seven proposals were approved. Five proposals were tabled pending further information, including.

  • What are the long-lasting effects of the tutorial?
  • How will "curricular development" be used?
  • How often will this course be offered?

Other considerations:

  • Should we fund irregularly-taught courses? What about Tutorials? Tutorials may be funded if
  • the course leads into a regularly-offered course.
  • ISC does not fund materials or books.
  • Regarding course revisions: How much is above and beyond the normal expectation for a
  • course?

Agenda for next meeting (May 2):

  • Finish curricular development proposals
  • Library Reserve Policy

Respectfully submitted,
Terri Phipps
