TO:                 Library Planning Group
FROM    :       Janice Dost
SUBJECT:    Approvals for Library Personnel Recruitment
                       Approved by lpg October 15, 1998
 
 

Issue:

Although the Library is feeling some moderate relief from budget pressures, control of authorized positions continues to be critical to our maintaining a solid budget base.  Currently, LHRD finds that we are receiving as many as six requests a week  to recruit for positions, without a coherent basis for approval. Serious problems in reconciling the Library’s staffing list with campus records and allocations prompts me to suggest that lpg adopt a clear authority structure for approval of library recruitments—one that assures attention to budget lines and funding and to careful stewardship of each available vacancy.
