3. Approve minutes from September 10
Approved with changes.
4. Question Time
What happens to faculty who are not part of a division? Since AULs are not part of a division, for purposes of P&T, EC will serve in the divisional advisory role.
There have been some problems with technology, but no one seems to be reporting the issues to IT. Should AC will talk about ways to improve communication with IT and IT’s communication back to the Library.
AC need to be more involved in putting things on the agenda. If an issue is brought up early enough Jim Dohle could be scheduled to come to AC. Mary Laskowski will bring this issue up at the next AC meeting.
Are ex-officio members allowed to vote on RPC? Yes.
A personnel issue was discussed.
The e-research task force has had one workshop and a forum focusing on data and data management and has had very low turn out. It was determined that fall may be a difficult time for Library faculty and staff to attend workshops. One suggestion was that the workshops could be videoed so they could be viewed at ones convenience. Another suggestion was for e-research task force to meet with divisions or introduce some of the practices at a faculty meeting.
5. AUL agenda for October
a. Coordinator/Head Document
b. Strategic initiative – focused on specific programs not general enough to say providing service to the public meets a strategic goal – not supposed to
