Administrative Services Council
The Administrative Services Council is one of five functional councils
within the Library. For more information on the structure of library
councils, see Launching the Councils and the Library Organization Chart.
Mission:
The Administrative Services Council advises the Chief Administrative
Officer on matters affecting the Library's ability to ensure smooth and
efficient administrative services in support of library public services
and operations, and for the benefit of all levels of Library staff. The
Council also serves as a two-way communication link for sharing news and
solving problems between Administrative Services and the rest of the
Library organization and staff. The Library's Chief Administrative Officer
is the Council chair. Depending on the nature of the subject, input from
the Administrative Services Council is taken to Roundtable, Administrative
Group or Cabinet.
Charge:
- Advise Administrative Services of the possible impacts of proposed
changes in procedures, policies, and services upon Library staff and
operations. As appropriate, gather information and feedback from library
units for use in evaluation and decision-making. Keep staff up-to-date
about changes with as much advance notice as possible, including what to
expect and how to prepare for change.
- Recommend new policies, procedures, and services, and advocate for the
improvement of existing ones. Prepare draft policies and procedures.
Advise on planning, implementation, publicity, staff training and
documentation, and evaluation.
- Ensure that Administrative Services function in compliance with campus
and University policies and procedures.
- Send meeting agenda in advance to all library staff. Minutes will be
posted on the Web in a timely fashion.
