Action Item:  Jim Cogswell and LMT have sent a draft of a new Student Library Fee proposal to the Chancellor’s office for review and feedback. (As a reminder, Chancellor Loftin invited MU Libraries to work with him in creating a new student fee to provide enhanced library services, spaces and collections.) Related to this effort LMT is establishing a working group to assist in publicizing and promoting a new Library fee, with the ultimate goal of having principal student groups on campus endorse the plan via letters to the UM Board of Curators. Invitations have been sent to suggested members of this group.

The group will have weekly, one-hour meetings beginning on Tuesday, September 23, from 4pm to 5pm, and continuing each Tuesday until December 16.

At the first meeting, Jim will present an outline of the fee proposal along with a preliminary calendar of meetings and events surrounding the campaign to promote the fee.
