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.





Action:  LEC will check on these concerns J. Vasi
