The June 27 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. However, in keeping with Section A of the Executive Committee’s charge and plans described in the minutes for the April 25, 2022 meeting, it deferred final decisions until the attendance of the University Librarian at a future meeting.

 

  1. Unit Annual Report Process and Analysis – David Ward and Jen Yu joined EC to discuss the annual review process.
  • The University Librarian’s office manages this process. Currently the Dean has asked David Ward to manage this process.
  • Jen Yu has been leading the Library Assessment Committee in drafting a report reviewing the unit annual reports.
  • EC gave feedback on the structure of the report with an eye towards options for streamlining it and making it more useful.
  • EC discussed options for improving completion rates for unit annual reports, including adjustments to the timing of the call for reports and emphasizing purposes and audiences of reports.

 

  1. Information Sciences Librarian Position Description –
  • EC discussed the proposed position description and made some notes to pass to the Dean.

 

  1. Library Council Implementation Team Progress
  • EC discussed an updated version of the proposal from the implementation team, and members were asked to provide any further feedback by Friday, July 1 for the process to move forward.

 

Meeting adjourned at 3:00pm
