   2. Feedback from CPS, LSD, and PSED was discussed.  Microcredentialling was a new topic that emerged from this month’s review of feedback.  Another topic of interest was more team teaching, interdisciplinary instruction, and partnering on design of instructional sessions.
2. Finalize and discuss next steps for Categories and Needs tabs
   1. There was interest in defining options to use as follow-ups for one-shot instruction, which can have diminishing impact depending on the timing of the instruction and subsequent assignments.  The team discussed competencies fo both Library instructors and the students we teach.  What should graduating seniors be able to do, information literacy-wise?

   1. For follow-up, the team will take the mostly-completed instruction inventory spreadsheet and convert it into a comprehensible definition of instruction to use in subsequent activities.  By email, we will have a discussion of which project the team wants to pursue first, and discuss in more detail at our April meeting.  Finally, a committee webpage and minutes will be published before the April meeting.
