      2. IT review \u2013 As a result of the server crash in September, Jerry Hinkle, Executive Director of the TECH Center, was asked to conduct a thorough review of the Libraries\u2019 core IT services.\u00a0 He spent the next 30 days in the Libraries, and met with many individuals and groups. Jerry and his supervisor Sheri Stahler, AVP for Academic Commputing\/Computer Services, with input from Carol and Jonathan LeBreton, have drafted a report of observations and recommendations.\u00a0 The report has been reviewed by Tim O\u2019Rourke, Vice President, Computer and Financial Services & CIO, and has been sent to the Provost. After Carol meets with the Provost concerning the report, she will share any information regarding recommendations or changes. Carol thanked all who met with Jerry.<\/li>\n
      3. New building \u2013 A new library building was mentioned in an article in the Philadelphia Inquirer<\/em> last Sunday. Temple has appointed a new Senior Vice President for Construction, Facilities and Operations \u2013 Jim Creedon Tony Wagner, Executive Vice President, CFO and Treasurer, presented on the Temple 20\/20 Plan, budget, and new library building at the Library\u2019s Board of Visitors meeting last Thursday. He brought along Margaret Carney, the University Architect. Because of the aforementioned reasons, Carol is hopeful that plans for a new library building are moving forward.<\/li>\n
      4. All Staff Meetings \u2013 The next All Staff Meeting is November 29, 2011 and all librarians are encouraged to attend. Tony Wagner will attend the January 26, 2012 meeting to discuss the budget.<\/li>\n
