Topic: Meeting Agenda
Outcome: Agenda as submitted was approved with the addition of three pop-up topics.
Topic: Recognition and Incentives, Dean’s Office
Leaders: Lowry and Baughman
Outcome: Efforts to recognize staff accomplishments are in place. Some staff members have received letters of appreciation for special contributions. In 2008, a tracking system will be put into place to record who has received acknowledgements for their accomplishments. It was noted that the merit review process provides an opportunity to identify contributions that deserve special recognition. LEC agreed that Charles should be invited to division, team and committee meetings when there is a topic that would benefit from his input in discussion.
Topic: Annual report from the Library Assessment Review Committee (LARC)
Leader: Lowry
Guest: I. Dillon
Outcome: A summary report of the LARC 2007 accomplishments and the 2008 goals (see accompanying report) was distributed. Dillon underscored the success of Library Summit, facilitated by the campus Center for Leadership and Organizational Change in October. Dillon also reported that LARC has been called upon more frequently over the past few years to design surveys and assist with data collection. In addition to the 2008 activities listed in the report, LEC suggested that LARC contact the interim leaders of DCR about assessment opportunities. LEC also suggested that research into the use of the Libraries’ WEB page use be conducted by LARC. Two new members are being sought to replace Jasmine Nof and Betty Day, who are rotating off the committee.
Topic: Pop-ups
- Spring GAship Schedule. Job descriptions for GAships that will be vacated over the summer are due to Lupe by the end of February. New requests for GAship positions must be vetted at the LEC table. Williams will send an e-mail regarding procedures to the Directors, along with an attachment listing upcoming vacancies.
- LEC Agenda changes. The position vacancy discussion will be moved from February 19 to February 26 so that the discussion will correspond with the sharing of budget information. Schreibman will be invited to present DCR vacancy requests on February 19, since this will be her last meeting. The GGIS Task Group report will be moved to the February 19 meeting and the Space Planning Advisory Team report currently scheduled for February 26 will be rescheduled to allow adequate time to discuss the budget and position priorities.
- Ruschoff presented a list of potential committee members for the search for the ILS Applications Manager.

Topic: Agenda for Next LEC Meeting on January 29, 2008
