The Library Committee

The university-wide Library Committee meets quarterly to address Library service issues from the users' perspective and works with Library administration to get input from faculty, students, and staff concerning proposed changes in Library policies and practices. Faculty and students who serve on this committee have a "global perspective" about services the Library may be willing to provide, and become involved in committee projects.
