EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE

MINUTES

October 8, 2018

1:00-3:30pm

428 Library

 

 

 

1. 1:30-2:00 – L-CAP Update – Jamie Carlstone (Co-Chair), Tricia Lampron (Co-Chair)
   

The committee has some new members, and good representation across the Library. Chair of the committee will rotate in January, L-CAP will use a Vice-Chair/Chair model assuming member is re-elected to the committee for the coming year. The forum with the Dean from May provided a good opportunity for communication. Primary concerns were the civil service audit, the AP promotional path, research support, and the merit raises or other forms of recognition. The committee organizes field trips to help see what AP’s in other units do. Two L-CAP members worked with the AUL’s to rank AP’s hired since the initial review process was completed.

 

L-CAP is assisting with communication regarding the civil service audit and the AP promotional path. The group is working with Jake MacGregor to establish a formal method of communication regarding issues. L-CAP is looking to help better support AP’s throughout the promotional path, and is working on improving communication amongst AP’s in general. There seems to be broad engagement of AP’s with the L-CAP committee.

 

2. 2-2:30 – AULs
   1. Library Building Project Update
      Quarterly update took place a few weeks ago, and was recorded for anyone unable to attend. A special collections consultant will be coming in December to begin discussions in that area.
