1. Review and Approval of Minutes from August 31, September 6, and September 11

Cindy will update the minutes and send them out for approval.

2. Question Time

• Reporting Back on Status of Summer 2006 Position Requests
  
  Karen is meeting with Cindy and Chris to go over EC's recommendations. Karen will send an updated list to EC for a final look, before contacting all individuals who submitted requests.
• Comments on Plan for Scholarly Commons Phase 2 
  
  EC agreed on the principles outlined in the plan, but did not make a recommendation for implementing the plan. Beth Woodard is leading a Task Force to look at the next steps for the scholarly commons. EC suggested several additional individuals to be included on the task force. Karen will talk to Beth about our suggestions.  We also discussed how to gather more input from the Library faculty, including having a discussion at an upcoming faculty meeting.
• Grant Writing
  A question came up about support for grant writing.  EC recommends that a web page be created to bring together all the relevant pieces of information. EC also discussed the need for additional people who can help.
• EC will discuss the role of CAPT vs. the IT Advisory Committee on October 2

3. Peer Review Committee Assignment

Suggestions were made.  Karen will contact the individuals.

4. Position Request Form

EC gave input on the position request template that Karen had updated.  Karen will resend this to EC along with a draft message to the faculty for final suggestions. EC agreed to stick with the 6 month cycle for calls for position requests; however, individuals may submit requests anytime if they can make a compelling argument about why the position should be filled immediately.  EC will keep unfilled position requests on file for one year, so that individuals do not have to resubmit two times in one twelve month period.

5. Names for AUL for Collections Search Committee

Suggestions were made. Karen will contact the individuals.

6. ICR Funding Proposal

The proposal was approved

7. Proposal for Global Studies Advisory Committee

Lynne Rudasill, current Global Studies Librarian, said that in the responsibilities for this position, an advisory committee was suggested. Lynne no longer feels that such an advisory committee is needed. She will work closely with individuals who can advise her.

8. Proposal for Position of Librarian for Interdisciplinary Initiatives

EC discussed this proposal.  The individual who submitted the proposal will meet with EC at an upcoming meeting.
