Evaluator: determines whether the group is on target and meeting their goals for the project
Our group understands that the duties associated with each role are likely to change throughout the project, but this is how we see our roles playing out at this point in the planning process.
Communication:
The group has been communicating by e-mail so far - several times a week - and we have chosen this as the main method of communication we will be using throughout the project. We have also discussed providing our telephone numbers (for a back-up to e-mail communication), as well as providing our schedules on a weekly basis, to keep everyone informed of our availability.
Research Plan:
We have divided the topics evenly between the members of the group, with each member researching and writing on one topic:
• Teaching personnel: Mitchell
• Integrated library instruction: Margaret
• Program and services development: Jen
• Physical and intellectual services: Pam
• Collections development and management: Suzanne
The research plans for our group include searching the internet - using Google and other search engines - to find relevant information and websites; using the databases available through the NSCC website and Infotrac; and visiting libraries to conduct on-site research. Some members will also be speaking with a person who is currently working in a school library as part of their research.
Presentation of Report:
Through e-mail discussion, the group has decided that we will create a blog presentation, to be posted as a link to the Web Board.
