- 2008-2009 Budget – Lisa Shipman
Lisa distributed the draft budget for 2008-2009 to each director. She requested that each library director report any line item changes to her by Nov. 30. Bill Hook requested that changes in each library’s acquisition budget be reported to him as well as Lisa. A discussion of the overhead charge that is charged to each School by the Library followed. Flo Wilson outlined the components of the overhead charge and provided historical information on how the charge has been calculated.
- First Year Commons planning – Sue Erickson
Sue Erickson led a discussion on a plan for the Library’s involvement in the First Year Commons. One of the possibilities is for a reference cubicle and desk to be set-up and staffed near the space that will be occupied by the Writing Studio. The area would be in the “Research Support Area” of the Commons Center with suggested staffing on Sunday-Thursday 4 – 8 PM. Several committee members expressed concern regarding the staffing of this space and wished to pursue other ways to become involved with the First Year Commons. Flo Wilson will draft a project team to pursue potential ideas for the Library’s involvement in the Commons.
- Practicum student - David Carpenter
UT Knoxville student, Roberta De Peri, contacted David regarding a possible practicum with the Heard Library. Several directors are interested in providing hand-on experience to this student. Tracy Primich will contact the student and lead the practicum.
Flo Wilson announced that a Question and Answer meeting with Dennis Hall and the library staff will be set-up for next Thursday (Nov. 15) sometime between 1 and 5 PM.
