          2. Budget \u2013 There is a half-billion dollar state shortfall, so a 5% rescission has been announced for Temple.\u00a0 If it\u2019s proportional, $775,000 will be cut from the Library\u2019s budget.\u00a0 Dean Lang will attend a Council of Deans meeting about the budget tomorrow. Jonathan LeBreton mentioned that with university budget cuts, the priority is to minimize impact on the current students, so more funds are taken from the business, rather than academic, side.\u00a0 The Library falls in the middle. Cuts will mostly come from the Library\u2019s carry-over funds.<\/li>\n
          3. Library field trip \u2013 will be to Johns Hopkins University Libraries in the summer.<\/li>\n
          4. Artwork \u2013 Dean Lang had a piece of student artwork installed in her office: a piece of fabric art by a Tyler art student.<\/li>\n
