Committee Updates
CPD – M. Gaston

Four finalists are being interviewed for the Library Fellow, with a decision expected in early May.
The search committee for the Resource Sharing Librarian is in place; Chuck Huber is serving as chair, and applications are being reviewed.
WOM has coordinated events including a whale-watching excursion, Mongolian barbecue, and a tour to the top of Storke Tower. Further events are pending.
CAP – G. Thomas
CAP has been making minor changes to the previous revised draft of the Procedures for Appointment and Review and is expected to finish next week, after which the document will be submitted to Detrice Bankhead.
Peer review committees have been formed and are beginning to deliberate review packets.
