1)      Response to meeting with IRPC Steering Committee and ASSC Steering

·         There should be a PSEC forum for the exchange of ideas

·         Committees should hold their own brown bags (to take initiative)

·         People were worried that there would be a lot of new meetings and a larger time commitment, but the only new thing is the assessment

·         This new organization is not a trend to have fewer meetings

§         It may be adding more meetings to a schedule

§         Publicizing agendas in advance allows people to pick and choose which meetings to attend based on topics presented

·         Individual committees should review the charges and make amendments

ACTION ITEMS:

ü     Committee chairs could provide feedback to supervisors on committee member’s performance --take this idea to Susan Markowitz

ü     Should the Outreach Function be more defined?  Check with Pat Schafer about revising the Outreach and Reference section

ü     Anne to make changes to the draft charges--an overview is needed including: staggered terms, orientation and training for new members, case load, supervisor support for membership

2) Discussion of Brown Bag meetings on the PSEC Reorganization

·         Available Brown Bag lunch dates (Monday April 25th, Friday April 29th?)

·         Similar format to previous meeting with IRPC/Access Committees

ü     Anne to put out a call when the dates are set

ü     Send out the strategic plan and draft charges before hand

ü     PSEC members proof read draft charges one more time

ü     Change Reference and Outreach sentence

3)  Continuation of Strategic Planning Process

·         Ask for volunteers, but it is still in PSEC’s hands to fashion the committees

·         Went through public services lists and placed certain people in certain committees

·         At Brown Bags, encourage people to express interest

·         Have handout with different groups to sign up at Brown Bags

·         Must also consider desk coverage and case load

·         Committees in place beginning June 1st

·         PSEC will appoint the chair of each committee

·         Each committee should meet on a monthly or as needed basis

·         Service on PSEC itself:

§         Up until now, it’s been by groups

§         Should wait until Pat and Kathy are here to discuss service on PSEC

§         There is a broad range of the times that people have served

§         Pat Schafer now represents Management/ILR/Hotel-can take Angela’s place in some ways?

§         The new Information Services Director should be included on PSEC

§         Instruction

§         Reference and Outreach

§         Assessment and Usability

§         Public Services/Public Computing- Pat Court

§         Other Executive Committees and LMT- Anne Kenney

4)  Carmen discussed the $75 book replacement fee in Olin and Uris
