SUMMARY = In the morning, we discussed possible formats for the Annual 2005 program, and brainstormed on possible topics for our speakers to cover when Discussing the Behavioral Guidelines. we decided on Remote Reference, Training, and Evaluation as 3 general areas. We also recommended Wayne Bivens-Tatum as the new chair for the group after Annual 2005. We also discussed publications opportunities to publisize the new guidelines, and decided to try for a short informational piece in a large publication like American Libraries or Library Journal.
In the afternoon session, we discussed new directions, and decided to pursue creating guidelines and/or tools to help reference managers come up with Strategic Plans to help with reference planning. Additionally, we discussed the format and content of the program with 2 of the speakers (Jana Ronan and Jo Bell Whitlatch).
