Discussion of what worked and what didn't for the Expo (i.e. needs to be in West next time and during a heavier semester time, like the first few weeks of classes) Discussion of next steps to interest and serve patrons using technologies Working on getting the Libraries' work added to pages like this one so that we can better serve patrons. Other happenings: Val, Sara, and Winston go to Ithaca June 1-4th for a VIVO training session, and will present at the July 10th Cross-divisional meeting (and maybe others after that as needed) Past Meetings, Agendas, Activities, and notes:
In general: Help train on using blogs, LibGuides, VIVO, Second Life, and further support interested tech users Compiling and promoting existing materials (screencasts, videos) With PRaM committee folks and RNC folks on this group, we could do the tech planning to creating the directory for staff bios/cvs for collaboration: Jason and Dan and others already have this, so it's just organizing and helping others to do the same (and a blog "about" page could do it as well for individual blogs, but we should have a central list for research/collaboration at UF and with others outside--patrons, researchers, and more), and this would help support the Speaker's Bureau (mentioned here, but I can't find it). We would do the tech side (how to auto-update, where best placed/structure on the website, and then how to connect to blogs, FB, speaker's bureau, and RNC and PRaM would also have input, and once all of us agree, then we can present it to the directors for consideration) Goal is to connect with patrons Some of the other many possibilities to consider moving on:

What are the Libraries' strengths and weaknesses and what technologies could help, and what areas are best to be covered, and what approaches are best given that a focused group and not a time-limited group will be working on it? What positions are needed and how do they work together with each other and with the libraries? What sort of workflow is most useful? Concrete project and collaborative possibities? Will this group hold the Facebook Library page? How about a LibraryThing account? How many programmers, skilled in what areas? interested: In general: Help train on using blogs, LibGuides, Vivo, Second Life, and further support interested tech users Some of the other many possibilities to consider moving on:
Second Life Coordinates for the UF Library in SL: 97,15,24. Laura's blog about the UF Virtual Worlds Group: http://laujord.wordpress.com/ Current Happenings Laura W. and Sara G. are holding reference hours in Second Life. This is running on many computers in Marston and West, so people will know about it. Based on the use and response they get through this reference time and through queries about SL from those interested in using it for any purposes, we'll see how to best pursue this further.
