It\u2019s that time of year again to let you know that replacements are needed for several vacancies on various MU Libraries committees for 2012-2014. All MU Libraries employees are encouraged to apply for committee membership with supervisor approval. Current committee members may apply for reappointment. The new committee appointments will be announced in June and will be effective July. 1. This effective date is earlier than last year for some committees. The change follows a discussion and decision to match effective dates with the fiscal year. A July 1 start allows committees time to plan before the rush of the fall semester<\/p>\n
