Thinking about timelines for planning…

So…at our last dept. meeting we loosely discussed timelines developing and implementing our new embedded information literacy program.   Here’s a first attempt at getting it laid out:

Spring 2008:  JBAC decisions communicated by Kathy Walsh;begin brainstorming and stakeholder discussions for embedding information literacy; create communication and information resources; initiate discussion with Humanities/Composition faculty. 

Summer 2008: Participate in discussions with Hum. faculty addressing re-formulating writing sequence (getting in on the ground floor for discussing IL within the writing sequence).

Fall 2008: Continued brainstorming and stakeholder discusssions with Humanities and other departments.  Continue teaching approximately 4 sections of Lib 127/term.  Continue current pilot for course related IL (embedded–we began this Fall 07) as needed.   Identify key projects for developing “embedded info. lit” program.

Winter 2009: continue brainstorming and stakeholder discussions; begin projects for developing embedded info lit program.  Continue teaching approximately 4 sections of Lib 127/term.  Continue course related IL.

Spring 2009: Discuss continuing Lib 127-as-elective Fall 2010 and beyond (will need to know this for inclusion in following year course schedule).  Deadline for JBAC General Ed. Outcomes.   Continue embedded info lit development projects.  Continue teaching approximately 4 sections of Lib 127/term.  Continue course related IL as needed.

Summer 2009: continue development projects

Fall 2009: continue development projects; decide with admin if we can offer Lib 127 as elective.  Continue teaching approximately 4 sections of Lib 127/term.  Continue course related IL.

Winter 2010: Determine Lib 127 as an elective–number of sections needed–for Fall 2010 schedule; test projects; begin outreach/publicity.  Continue teaching approximately 4 sections of Lib 127/term.  Continue course related IL.

Spring 2010: test projects; continue outreach/publicity.  Reduce number of Lib 127 sections?

Summer 2010: test projects; continue outreach/publicity.

Fall 2010–Implement embedded IL program.  Possibly continue to offer Lib 127 as an elective within new IL program.
