CEC Ideas

[Dave Evans]

Hi Everyone,

The Continuing Education Committee is looking for ideas/suggestions for upcoming meetings.
Current suggestions include:

     David Stewart discussing Theological Librarianship
     RDA anb FRBR implementation (when it is scheduled to be released)
     Further discussion on Web 2.0 and its benefits to Theological libraries
     New Directions in library management

Any and all suggestions are greatly appreciated (along with any comments regarding the above suggestions).

I would be interested in learning more about how theological libraries are handling the increase in online or distance-learning course formats in providing acceptable library services for all students, whether they come to campus or not.

Aspects such as:

CMS choice and how it is being used by librarians
Online course guides (LibGuides, for example)
E-Reserves
Online reference service

Library Assessment would be an important topic.  Libraries have traditionally used input/ouput measures.  We need to move to outcomes assessment for accreditation requirements.  The published literature on outcomes assessment in theological libraries is almost nonexistent.
