• PSEC agrees

PCAC decided that the co-chairs of the group should be elected

• PSEC agrees

Ryan Krolick and Gabriel Plaine have officially replaced Maureen and Philip on PCAC

PSEC decided that lost flash drives, laptops, etc. should be given to the Cornell Police without trying to identify the owner. PSEC also recommended that the Access Services Committee and PCAC meet to come up with a library wide lost and found policy. Currently, not all units are using the same lost and found policy. It was also suggested that the Library plan a possible campaign to promote id tags on personal items.
