1. Announcements
A campus-wide automated time clock system should be installed within a
year. A vendor to supply the system has been selected, and a commitment
to funding is expected within the next 60 days.
L. Pangelina is taking on responsibility for developing and updating
Administrative Services web pages.
M. Rancer has gotten better statistics from Xerox that show an average
decline of 7% in photocopy use in the last year. In some units the
decline is much higher than the average. Use of the public printers is
not high enough to offset the decline. Much of the decline can be
attributed to patrons' use of e-journals. M. Rancer is also looking at
Xerox's staffing to see if it is cost-effective. He will report again at
the next meeting.
2. Agenda items
A. Committee to create a job description for Director of LHRD
M. Rancer gave the committee a list of the proposed committee. After much
discussion, the council decided to replace one candidate with a
representative from the campus Office of Human Resources who has
experience with Library non-academic staff. A short list of names was
decided on. M. Rancer will take the revised committee list to Cabinet for
approval. The plan is to have a job description by the end of November
and to begin recruitment in January.
M. Rancer announced that, when J. Dost leaves at the of December , K.
Startweather will take over the responsibilities for non-academic staff.
For the academic staff, he will try to find either a librarian or someone
in campus Academic Personnel to take on the duties. He will explore both
avenues concurrently.
B. Banning disruptive patrons
The council decided that this was an issue that should more appropriately
be addressed by the Public Services Council. M. Rancer will refer the
problem to I. Sterling. He will also confer with P. Payne, who suggested
this topic to the committee.
Next meeting: November 8. Recorder: E. Woods
