Libraries Planning Retreat: Aug. 3 Waterman Memorial Lounge

During a special meeting of the Dean’s Council, Monday, July 16, eleven functional categories for further exploration were established for the Libraries Planning Retreat on Friday, Aug. 3 from 1-4 p.m. based on the May 17th R2 follow-up meeting.

The Retreat will take place in Waterman’s Memorial Lounge (instead of the Staff Lounge) and refreshments will be served. All libraries employees are encouraged to attend. Please check with department heads about scheduling and coverage issues.

Attendees will have the opportunity to provide feedback at three different tables during the course of the session. Each table will address one category and will have a facilitator present. A more detailed memo outlining retreat activities and expected outcomes will be circulated next week.

The eleven categories/tables are as follows:

1. Acquisitions, Serials, Periodicals
2. E-Resource Management
3. Public Services Delivery
4. Bailey/Dana intersections and distinctions
5. Collection Development
6. CDI and Metadata
7. Emerging New Collections and Services (i.e., Informatics)
8. Cataloging Priorities and Workflows
9. Liaison Relationships
10. Weeding, Shifting, Stack Maintenance
11. Hidden Collection/Special Collections
