b.      What data would be useful to review in order to make these decisions?

c.       What features would be helpful in a reference assessment tool?

 

 

2.      Faculty Senate Reporting - Al Kagan/Lynne Rudasill (5 min)

Background

The Library Faculty might benefit from a standard approach to hearing about issues that are brought up and addressed at the Campus Senate meetings. Since we are moving away from a "reporting" model for our faculty meetings and toward a "discussion and action" model, the faculty meetings may not be the best place for reports from our senators

 

Discussion Question

a.      What are some viable methods for informing and seeking feedback from the Library Faculty about issues brought in the Faculty Senate meetings?
