The 2015 HR Training Conference will be held on November 4 and 5. The conference is still in its planning stages, so if you have suggestions for topics or speakers, please contact Susan Groshong at groshongs@missouri.edu.
Has it been a while since you have learned about the FMLA? Are you a new supervisor who is unfamiliar with the FMLA process? This session is for you!
The Libraries will hold FMLA training for supervisors on September 15, 9:30-11am and September 16, 2-3:30. The sessions are both the same, so you only need to attend one to brush up on your FMLA knowledge. Meeting invitations will be sent to all-staff so that you can easily add a session to your calendar. As always, if several people in your area are planning to attend, please be sure to check with your supervisor to make sure that there will be coverage.

INFORMATION ITEM: LMT discussed a sudden development brought forth from University Administration that might require the Libraries to move a portion of the collection in 4 East for the temporary construction of a research institute. Discussions continue and are ongoing.
ACTION ITEM: LMT discussed the creation of a long range planning committee to help give an overall long-term vision in which the other library committees can operate. The new committee would liaison with campus long-term planning committees and strive to better explain within and outside of our organization where the libraries hope to go in the future. The size and make-up of the committee members are not finalized but will be considered and discussed at the next LMT meeting.This group will have a broad representation of employees and may include a faculty member and student representation.
INFORMATION ITEM: LMT briefly discussed the Library Assembly and its recent meeting to discuss the MULAC Subcommittee on Communication’s recommendations. LMT will clarify from MULAC if the subcommittee’s recommendation was officially submitted to LMT for a response.
