      \n
    1. New Drupal-based AAL website (D. Khanna)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Delphine announced that the AAL website content is migrating to Drupal.\u00a0 Drupal is database-driven and has more functionality than Contribute, e.g. WYSYWYG editor, events creation.\u00a0 In Drupal, web pages are not deleted, but unpublished, and revisions are tracked.\u00a0 Currently, only Steering Committee members have access to Drupal. Once LDAP authentication is set up, others may have access, however the AAL members present indicated that they see no need for every AAL member to have access\/editing privileges at this time.\u00a0 Adding content to Drupal by cutting and pasting from Microsoft Word does not cause formatting problems, but the source code can be edited manually.<\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Remarks by the Interim Dean of Libraries (C. Lang)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        Carol gave several updates:<\/p>\n

        • Temple University Libraries was ranked 57 (up from 58 previously) in the ARL Library Investment Index 2009-10, which was recently published in the Chronicle of Higher Education<\/em>.\u00a0 The index measures library expenditures on materials and staff salaries and wages.<\/li>\n
        • Temple University is hosting Library Journal\u2019s<\/em> second \u201cFuture of the Academic Library Symposium: Bridging the Gap\u201d on November 11.\u00a0 A website for the symposium will go live next week.<\/li>\n
        • Hiring: In July, the Libraries received several hiring exceptions for positions.\u00a0 The Part-Time Reference Librarian positions have been posted.\u00a0 Other exceptions have been submitted.<\/li>\n
        • Tonight Temple University Libraries, Urban Archives is hosting the program \u201cSound and Vision\u201d at the Piazza at Schmidts at 7:30 PM.<\/li>\n

            \n
          1. Old Business<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

            Librarians\u2019 new roles in the Faculty Senate were discussed.\u00a0 Previously the AAL elected two representative faculty senate librarians who observed Faculty Senate meetings, but due to a bylaws change, many librarians are now members of the Faculty Senate. The AAL will continue to elect representative faculty senate librarians. Carla Davis Cunningham pointed out that Faculty Senate membership includes the Law and HSC librarians. Questions were raised about whether Law and HSC librarians are eligible to vote for representative faculty senate librarians and whether faculty senate membership includes department heads.\u00a0 Brian Schoolar has asked the Faculty Senate Executive Committee about librarian service on Senate committees.\u00a0 Librarians should now be receiving Faculty Senate emails and if they are not they should notify Brian or David Murray.<\/p>\n

              \n
