The July 25 meeting was held in the absence of the Dean, and it was chaired by the Vice-Chair in accordance with Section 2.B.2 of the Library Bylaws. The meeting was used to advance discussion of proposals but deferred final decisions until the attendance of the University Librarian at a future meeting, in keeping with Section A of the Executive Committee’s charge and plans described in the minutes for the April 25, 2022 meeting.

 

1. PRC Assignment – EC assigned a PRC for a faculty member.

 

2. Study Space Planning Group Final Report
   1. EC received and acknowledged the report. Members noted this should really be shared with the Administrative Council, but they did make some suggestions for strengthening the report before it goes to that group, which the Vice Chair will communicate to the group. EC also suggested the information in the report be shared out with the library as a whole.

 

3. Updated Innovation and Seed Funding Proposals – EC recommended funding an additional proposal after receiving the response to questions about a previous version.

 

4. Digital Humanities Librarian Position Description – EC approved the updated job description with a suggested amendment to wording and a question to clarify the rank.
