Ellis Library Reading Room 202 Rearrangement Proposal
Mike Muchow and Ryan Bish presented a proposal from the Ellis Library Space and Facilities Advisory Committee to move counter high shelving from room 201, which holds oversized books, to room 202. The proposal also included the recommendation that the counter high shelving on the 3rd floor, which holds indexes, be moved to room 202. They presented several possible configurations for room 202.
ACTION: LMT agreed that something similar to the Plan B option, which would allow the tables to be spaced out and the shelving to be placed on the south and east sides of the room, would be the best option. It was stated that they would need to make sure the room setup was ADA compliant.
ACTION: It was agreed that this could take place after the spring semester was over, and the rooms could be closed down while work was being done.
Long-Range Planning Committee Report
Mike Muchow presented the Long-Range Planning Committee’s final report.
ACTION: It was agreed that this report and the AdZou documents need to be shared with everyone. Ann stated that she had already sent the Long-Range Planning Committee Report to the Library Committee. Ann asked the LMT members to read these documents before the retreat.
Changes In Administration
Ann updated LMT on changes in the Ellis Library administration office. Kathy Peters is being trained to take over as interim fiscal officer when Ellen Blair retires.
