S. DeDecker and L. Korenic gave update of the UL search. The library tour for the candidates will be expanded to 1 hour and 30 minutes. December 3 - 4 will be the date for the last candidate.
 

4. New Library program series

D. Bankhead plans to create a library series program about once a month that will have some focus or relevancy to the library profession and its future. It was suggested that the librarians could get the series started with their own presentations. Then guest speakers could be invited in the future.
 

5. Library Safety

Students have expressed concern for their safety in the library. Some of the ways this concern could be addressed are:

• Better lighting
• Improve visibility of security in various parts of the library by having them wear clearly marked T-shirts. For their own safety advise student workers not to personally intercede when incidents occur, but to notify security.
• Have a Campus Security Officer (CSO) stationed in the library during "dead week" to be available for escorting.

Meeting adjourned, 11:00 am
