1:00-3:00pm

428 Library

 

Present: Paula Kaufman, chair; David Ward, vice-chair; Beth Woodard, Secretary; Paula Carns, JoAnn Jacoby, Mary Laskowski, Chris Prom, Lynne Rudasill, Sarah Shreeves; Visitors – Tom Teper

 

  1. 1.                 1-1:30 – Tom – CDC and collection development/management activities in light of the substantial changes that we are seeing in the Library’s personnel profile, etc.

EC talked with Tom about the positions he’d like to see in Collections. Tom needs a more nimble process for advice and feedback. Making positions a part of another faculty member’s duties was one idea. Adding it to a Division Coordinator’s responsibilities was another. EC asked Tom to submit a more defined job description.

 

  1. 2.                 JoAnn Jacoby, Chair, Patron Services Manager for CAS (AP)

The search committee launch meeting is scheduled for next. Beth commented that campus is looking for a smaller list of requirements and how much Library experience is really needed, hoping to open up positions to a more diverse pool.
