DEAN'S OFFICE

Library Advisory Board
Minutes

January 28, 2002

Present: Dean Jim Williams, Laura Wright (chair), Suzanne Larsen, Susan Anthes, Helene McHendry, Maureen Van Camp, Lorna Kent, Paul Moeller (secretary)

Greg Robl, on behalf of the 2001 LAB, attended the meeting to recommend the 2002 LAB make an exception to the usual policy of alternating the chair between faculty and staff and allow a staff member to chair the committee two years in a row. As the only two continuing members of the committee (Laura and Helene) are staff, the 2002 LAB agreed to act in accordance with Greg's suggestion. Laura Wright was appointed chair and Paul Moeller has agreed to serve as secretary.

Dean Williams reviewed the history and the role of the LAB. He noted that pay-for-performance evaluations, follow through on the new strategic plan, program planning, and budget considerations are items which could be brought before the LAB in the coming year.

Laura Wright will maintain the LAB's FAQ, and monitor the physical and e-mail suggestion boxes.

Department heads are reminded to contact Hilary Waukau to arrange for a discussion of Departmental security issues.

Next meeting: February 11.
