I. Introduction of new officer and members
II. Spring Dean's Meeting
ACTION: April 27th has been tentatively scheduled for the Spring Dean's Meeting.
III. Building Concerns
A. From Johann Suggestion Box:
"I was wondering if someone with authority from Norlin could make a special request to have the Norlin stacks vacuumed. It is very filthy. The intermediary staircases between floors 3 and 3B and 3C are very dirty also."
ACTION: Scott Seaman has a meeting scheduled with the building crew to discuss concerns, responsibilities and expectations within the next two weeks. Larry Chartrand will be initiating a dusting project in the Norlin stacks to dust and vacuum shelves. Circulation has a vacuum that is worn on the back and is available for check out on request. Please contact Larry Chartrand to borrow the vacuum.
B. Work areas:
Is there a daily, weekly, monthly checklist that the custodial staff work from? How often should trash be emptied and floors mopped? Who do we go to with these concerns?
ACTION: If there is a check list, neither the Dean or the AD were aware of it. This will be another question for Scott to take to his meeting with the building crew. The questions proposed by the LAB for clarity on this maintenance issue included:
All maintenance/custodial requests should be directed to Dan Davidson in Administrative Services, and then he will contact the custodial supervisor.
C. Will the first floor women's restroom be renovated any time soon (walls, stalls, window, bag hanging in hallway, diaper changers?).
ACTION: Scott reported that a work request was initiated and is in the Facilities Management queue. The wall in the first floor bathroom has continuous water seepage and three years ago a bid was made on sealing it off, but it was too expensive. Since that time the leakage has continued and the wall will be fixed on as "as needed" basis. The leakage comes from the fountains located on the West entrance porch.
IV. Book Exchange - maintenance and refreshing in the Staff Lounge
ACTION: There was discussion about how the LAB will organize the magazines. Pat Wallace agreed to supply six titles from the Periodicals Room (for ex. People Magazine and U.S. News & World Report) to the Staff Lounge once the bound volumes have been received for the issues. There are some logistical problems to be worked out and further discussions with Pat will be necessary. Suzanne will send an E-mail to the Norlin list concerning the books in the Staff Lounge. All old titles will be cleared out (donated, etc.) and hopefully refreshed with new titles contributed by the Libraries Staff. The rule of thumb is "bring one, take one."
V. ULR - format, regularity, name?
ACTION: The LAB has invited Deborah Fink and Missy Gray to attend the agenda setting meeting on Feb. 9 for further discussion.
VI. Signs - progress?
ACTION:
There are new signs outside at both the East and West Entrances to Norlin. Also, there will be a small amount of money (leftover from the new Earth Science Library sign budget), for new signs inside the East and West Entrances. There was discussion concerning the Sign Committee.
VII. Bin
A. Orientation packets
ACTION: Discussion on the what the new employee orientation packets should include and that packets in the future will have WEB information as well as paper materials. Scott Seaman is trying to reduce the orientation time from 3 hours to maybe 60 minutes.
B. Web site(s)
ACTION: Minutes will be added to the LAB WEB site.
VIII. Johann Suggestion Box
No issues in the suggestion box.
