- Decision: travel will be limited to Librarian I and required administrative travel.
Special Collections Policy
- Discussion: Discussion about the proposed collection transfer policy for materials moving into Special Collections. Jeannette asked LMT to review drafted selection criteria and think about who needs to have authority on decision about what is moved into special collections. Initiating communication on these decisions between selectors, special collections and acquisitions as well as differentiating between Special Collections and Library Use Only viewing options were also discussed. The financial component incudes what needs separate insurance.
Budgets
- President Choi requested reformatting budget plans for submission. This plan presented the 12% cut in what is permanent and not permanent; with the goal being that we have a plan to make the 12% cut permanent. That would then allow for a pool of money that the University could use at its discretion. Ann has requested that the Libraries receive some of these reinvestment funds.
- Budget measures include staffing considerations, Student Enhancement Fee component and more cuts to collections.
- Ann reviewed the Priorities in Budget Planning attachment that was submitted to the Provost Office.
