Speaker: Jeff Mackie-Mason

Facilitator: Katherine Kott

Library Leadership Team recorders: E. Woods & E. Dupuis

  1. J. Mackie-Mason briefly discussed the University Library Leadership Team's draft “reaction” document , after which LAUC-B librarians, including Affiliated Library members, had the opportunity to provide input. (FYI the final Strategic Plan is now available.) 

  2. Summary

    1. Our core mission is to support research scholarship and teaching and learning on campus through scholarly communications, student success, and collections. We need a shared vision of where we want to get in the next 5-7 years, we all need to be engaged, offer input, advice, etc.

    2. Current paperwork (see attachment) is a starting point for a discussion about what is missing, what should be deleted, or what should be changed so they better state where we should be going

    3. At least one more meeting will occur to present a draft of the actual strategic plan and will have other mechanisms along the way for seeking input. LAUC-B members should reach out to the strategic plan committee at any time
