The MU Librarians and Archivists Council and Director Jim Cogswell charged a committee in October to look at designing a group to serve some of the same functions as the past Library Council. The committee has produced a draft plan for a new group, tentatively called the Library Representative Assembly, that would address the communication function of Library Council. The proposed assembly would have a monthly meeting for representatives elected from their departments to share reports and ideas and hear news from the Director. Each meeting would provide time for a question and answer session, and at various times library committees would also be asked to give reports. Elected representatives would be expected to go back and share information from the meetings with their departments. Please come to either one of the planned sessions, to be offered May 7 at 11 am and May 8 at 2 pm, both in 4F51A, and share your response and reactions to the proposal, which will be distributed before the meeting and available on the library web site. After collecting comments and taking time for revision, the committee will send the proposal back to the Librarians and Archivists Council and the Director for further action.

Can we video all of these events and meetings? Then we could put them online for all libraries employees to review.
