Dean�s Report
The Dean expressed his appreciation
for the Board�s service and leadership this past term and presented the
members with a library memento.
There have been no changes since
the last meeting in library personnel.Departments continue to share civil
service positions due to vacancies. Dean Lanham is working with the
Provost to fill more staff positions held vacant this year.
The
annual Periodical and Standing Order Review report was distributed showing
titles recommended for cancellation due to budget cuts, totaling $81,000.
Some departments had to cancel journal titles in order to have book titles
available for their use next year. Also, print sources that duplicated
electronic sources were cut from Reference holdings. Dean Lanham
reminded the board that this is a proposed list and that there might be
other changes before September. He noted that some of these are healthy
cuts. The change this year is that the process of making decisions
which used to start in summer and finalized in September will now begin
earlier so as to be completed by spring.
FY2005 Library calendar is going to print.
Dean Lanham mentioned that Library Advisory Board
member, Leslie Rios, would be attending library school at the University
of Illinois at Champaign next fall. Dean Lanham thanked the members
for their participation on the board and said letters would be drafted
for their portfolios.
