    \n
  1. Approval of minutes: \u00a0the minutes of the September 20th\u00a0meeting were approved.<\/li>\n
  2. Report\/Question & Answer Session \u2013 Larry Alford:\n
      \n
    • General Education Curriculum Committee\/Information Literacy \u2013 A required information\u00a0literacy component has been included in the General Education plan since summer.<\/li>\n
    • Larry reiterated the need for selectors to spend the extra funds that have been allocated to\u00a0the Libraries. \u00a0This includes the half million dollars for monographs and $100K for print\u00a0materials to support the research needs of new faculty. \u00a0Sandi Thompson asked about the\u00a0purchase of DVDs for community and regional planning; Larry replied that purchasing these\u00a0materials would be allowed as long as they are intended to support research. \u00a0There will\u00a0probably be between 600K and 800K for the purchase of books, backfiles, and one-time\u00a0electronic resources. We need to establish principles for collection; selectors should then\u00a0collaborate to create a prioritized, consensus-based list of databases and serials for purchase.<\/li>\n
    • Searches for open librarian positions are going slowly.<\/li>\n
    • Penelope Myers reported that discussion has begun on selection criteria for materials to be\u00a0moved to Kardon. \u00a0Larry said that selectors can look at lists that have been created, but they\u00a0need to be careful that the bulk of any one subject does not get removed. \u00a0Sandi asked about\u00a0moving microfilm to Kardon. \u00a0Larry stated that the first priority is reducing the volume\u00a0count in Paley in order to absorb other collections; then attention can shift to other locations\u00a0(Traylor, government documents, and microfilm). \u00a0Penelope noted that delivery of articles\u00a0from Kardon will be via Ariel; patrons will also be able to borrow bound volumes if needed. \u00a0Larry noted that a couple of the rooms can be designated for temporary storage of bound\u00a0journal runs when patrons require such for their research.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n
    • David Murray reported on the brown bag lunches. \u00a0David and Brian Schoolar organize them,\u00a0and they are held on the first Friday of each month. \u00a0The first was held on November 4th.<\/li>\n
    • Fred Rowland gave an update on the Continuing Education Committee. \u00a0The Committee is\u00a0comprised of Derik Badman, Susan Golding, Nik Barkauskas, and Fred. \u00a0The first session will\u00a0be about open source programs and will be held on December 13th. \u00a0The Committee\u2019s next\u00a0program will be on copyright and will probably be held in February. \u00a0Penelope suggested that\u00a0the Committee ask David Post of the Law School to participate. \u00a0The Committee is trying to\u00a0plan a visit to the Philadelphia Art Museum in the spring to see the collection that Evan Towle\u00a0oversees.<\/li>\n
    • Sandi reported on the status of the Merit Committee. \u00a0There is a meeting planned between the\u00a0Merit Committee, Larry, and Jonathan Le Breton. \u00a0Sandi recommends that librarians begin\u00a0collecting their documents. \u00a0If anyone has concerns about the merit process, the Merit\u00a0Committee should be contacted soon, preferably prior to the meeting with Larry and Jonathan. \u00a0Mark Darby noted that any guidelines will most likely end up in arbitration as they were geared\u00a0more towards faculty. \u00a0Sandi reminded the assembly that applicants should submit their CVs and\u00a0annual reports as the Merit Committee does not have access to personnel files.<\/li>\n
    • Fred gave an update on the AAL website. \u00a0It is slowly getting back in shape. \u00a0If something\u00a0cannot be located on the website, he recommends looking in the AAL folder on the H: drive.<\/li>\n
    • Old Business\/New Business\/Announcements:\n
        \n
      1. Penelope announced that Temple filled the 400,000th\u00a0E-ZBorrow request. \u00a0She thanked\u00a0librarians for recommending the service to patrons: \u00a0there was a 66% increase in materials\u00a0requested this October vs. last October.<\/li>\n
      2. David Murray reminded the Assembly about the Faculty\/Staff Campaign event in\u00a0Schusterman on Thursday.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        The meeting adjourned at 3:00 PM.<\/p>\n

        Respectfully submitted,<\/div>\n
