Library Advisory Committee Meetings

Posted on by

I had the pleasure of meeting with the Senate Committee on the Library (April 2) and the University Librarian’s Student Advisory Committee (April 17) to present the Library’s Strategic Planning Process and review the plans represented in the What’s Next? posting in detail.

Both groups were enthusiastic about the Strategic Planning work and the way that the University Library is aligning its plan with the campus strategic plan. The University Librarian’s Student Advisory Committee also provided specific suggestions for how to engage students in the process.

I will meet again with both groups in the fall in order to provide an update on the process as well as gather their feedback on the draft Framework for Strategic Action that we will have prepared by then.
