Vice Provost Report – Ann Campion Riley
Q/A What will the posters be? We are looking at some of the transform posters as well as those modeled in the ALA catalog.
Q/A When will we know the budget outcomes? Our first meeting with the Provost and Rhonda Gibler is this Friday. The state legislature is slated to pass a budget May 1st. There is no official decision date at this time. We will start talking to people if it seems like we need to prepare personnel. There are lots of pieces to this puzzle that we are waiting to fall into place so that we know what additional decisions we need to make.
Campus Safety – Sheryl Cullina
Sheryl announced that MUPD offers in depth active shooter training. This training will likely occur after business hours. Sheryl will look into setting up a time for this training to be available for University Libraries employees.
Q/A – What is the timeline to complete the Activity survey for those who did not complete it last week? Supervisors with employees that have not completed the survey have received an email and need to complete the survey on behalf of the employee by Friday.
Lib Cal – Nav Khanal
Nav walked through the Lib Cal and demonstrated how to book a room and some cautionary operations. He answered a few specific questions about warnings for double booking and deleting bookings. It was suggested that a start date and end date were added to the programming so that we can book events over multiple dates. Marie also suggested that the programming be modified to allow modifying a series of events’ start or end dates without being required to delete the series and add it again.
Closing remarks – Kevin McFillen
Kevin’s time as Chair of Staff Advisory Group is coming to an end and Kate Wright will soon serve as Chair. If there are any suggestions you would like to make to the format of the SAG meetings please let Kevin know.
Tuesday, April 3 at 10:00 AM – next Staff Advisory Group town hall meeting.
Daylight saving time returns at 2 a.m. on Sunday, March 11. That means you should move your clocks forward one hour Saturday night before going to bed. It is also recommended that you use this as a reminder to change all batteries in fire alarms and carbon monoxide detectors.

For many years, Ellis Library housed a collection of Dorothy Doughty porcelain birds that were donated to MU. According to the stipulations of the donor agreement, the University Libraries are now free to sell the birds. The collection has been sent to Link Auction Galleries in St. Louis to be included in the next live auction. The proceeds will benefit the University Libraries. The display cases where the birds were previously displayed is in the process of being refurbished as exhibit space to highlight University Libraries Special Collections materials.
