Restructuring of Serials Operations Group and Library Binding Committees*

 

Because of expected changes brought about by the new building and administrative desire for better and more efficient communications regarding all serial workflows, the Serials Operations Group and Library Binding Committee have been restructured into two new and slightly different groups.  Below, please find information regarding both teams.  The names of the two groups are still subject to change.  Also, exact meeting times and dates will be decided upon by the groups themselves, subject to participant availability on a once a month basis.  It is projected that the Library West Committee will meet more frequently than the Serials Preparation group over the next few years.

Please be aware that the membership and charges of both teams will remain flexible while the twin transitions of a new LMS and the building construction and renovation are implemented. 

Committee One: 

Name:  Periodical Improvement Group (P.I.G.)

Meeting Schedule

Chairpersonship: Co-chairpersonship between Preservation and Serials Acquisition management staff

Membership: Cathy Mook, Doug Kiker, Kendra Carter, Marie Kennedy, Dee Hawes, Lori Driscoll, Paul Losch, David Hickey and, as plans for the new building emerge, Emily Madden, Justino Llanque-Chana and one or two other members of the Access Services Staff

Charge: to discuss policies and procedures relating to check-in, claiming and binding of serials/periodicals for the Humanities and Area Studies collections in Library West, with a special emphasis on planning for the upcoming transitions to the new building and the new library management software.

Committee Two: 

Name:  A-Team

Meeting Schedule
