      1. Remarks by the Dean of Libraries (J. Lucia)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        Dean Lucia reported on two meetings at the Snohetta office in New York.\u00a0 The design is proceeding from vague premises and broad concepts to, at the second meeting, five detailed renderings of conceptual shapes.\u00a0 Snohetta is unique in its iterative design process; they have listened to feedback from Library Administration and will use this information to refine their concept.\u00a0 The library is going for a minimum of LEED gold certification.<\/p>\n

        The plans for the Digital Scholarship Center are proceeding and there has already been faculty interest in working on projects.\u00a0 Liaisons can expect to be mediators for the center\u2019s services.\u00a0 Dean Lucia states that the DSC will be transformative to the library\u2019s service mission.<\/p>\n

        Dean Lucia reported that the Temple University Press Executive Director search is proceeding well.\u00a0 We have hosted Dean Smith, currently with Project Muse, who was a strong candidate.\u00a0 Mary Rose Muccie, currently with JSTOR, is expected to be equally strong.<\/p>\n

Press, 2012), as well as several articles on gaming, crowdsourcing, and their relationship to commercial enterprise.\u00a0 He spoke about the need for librarians to act as the \u201cvoice of the people,\u201d advocating for all users and not just institutional stakeholders.\u00a0 He encouraged us to think of systems that will continue to allow users to engage creatively with cultural materials, pointing out that the design of platforms reflect the politics of the designers.<\/p>\n
