Draft Minutes
June 28, 2006 | Langara College Room, 3rd floor meeting room
Attendees: Lin Brander, Mirela Djokic, Sigrid Kargut, Liza Hutchison, Katherine Miller, Heather Morrison
Regrets: Jean Cockburn
Background
Liza Hutchison chaired the meeting. Liza explained that at the BCLA conference in April 2006, Scott Leslie from the BC Campus SOL*R repository invited librarians to contribute their learning objects (tutorials, etc.) to their repository. This idea interested many of the participants. At the annual ALPS meeting during BCLA, several members expressed interest at meeting to discuss these ideas and that was the impetus for this meeting.
Heather Morrison provided context for the conversation by explaining some of the current open access initiatives and repositories in BC and Canada.
1. CARL (Canadian Association of Research Libraries) Institutional Repository
Their site includes:
- listing of various institutional repositories
- CARL metadata harvester
- uses DSpace software hosted at University of Calgary
- doesn't currently support variety of media used in library tutorials
- SFU

2. eLis is E-Print in Library and Information Science
"E-LIS is an open access archive for scientific or technical documents, published or unpublished, on Librarianship, Information Science and Technology, and related areas."
- uses ePrint software
- doesn't currently support variety of media used in library tutorials

3. COPPUL ANTS Tutorial Sharing Project
Council of Prairie and Pacific University Libraries Animated Tutorial Sharing Project
- Anyone can download the tutorials, however, at this time only COPPUL members can contribute
Top
4. BC Campus SOL*R
- Can support multiple formats
- Open to all ALPS members (unlike the COPPUL ANTS project)
- BC faculty will be participating in this initiative
- One barrier to using is a userid and password is needed.

5. Discussion about how to properly attribute a tutorial downloaded from any of these repositories. Mirela Djokic mentioned how TILT, the Texas Information Literacy Tutorial has been adapted by other institutions into tutorials called FLIRT and iLion. It has also been used by the Emily Carr Institute Library (i.e. first screen of Emily Carr's tutorial). Another example of how to cite a tutorial is the Internet Detective.
Future actions may include prioritizing the creation of BCELN database tutorials.
Thanks to Liza Hutchison for organizing and hosting the meeting today.
Next meeting date: October 18th 2:00 PM at Langara College.
Summary of Actions:
Action: Liza Hutchison will ask for a separate space on the SOL*R site separate from the area which has been set aside to store library technical studies program learning objects.
Action: Katherine Miller to prepare and circulate the minutes of the meeting. Katherine Miller to create a wiki for this committee and circulate the URL (http://sharelibraryresources.pbwiki.com/) This wiki will be used to facilitate communication and collaboration between meetings. The password to edit this wiki is: share.
Action: All committee members to add to the list of objects that might go into the SOL*R site. This will facilitate the creation of controlled vocabulary.
Action: Heather Morrison will review the library literature to see if there are metadata standards that we can use or develop to apply to our learning objects.
