Meetings today officially revealed changes to ICTS and to several Service Units including the Library. The change proposal document has been scanned and added to Counterculture for information.
The proposed impact on the library is the disestablishment of four positions in Library IT – Anne Scott, Peter Kennedy, Donna Barber, and Catherine Jane. Four other positions are proposed to stay the same but to have a different reporting line – Margaret Adam, Alison Rashbrook, Lin Zhang, and Shane Blair. Grant Barrie’s position is to stay in the Library and to move to Collections. Marilyn McLaren’s position in the Library Copy Centre has also been disestablished.
These changes are proposals at this stage and affected staff may make submissions on them before the 4 February 2010. TEU will be making a submission as will library management. Other staff may wish to comment to Paul O’Flaherty, Director of Human Resources who will “consider all submissions received” – page 31, Change proposal- ICT Services.

I’m totally shocked by the radical proposal and would just like to express my support for IT. We all know we can’t do our jobs without you all. "We shall fight them on the beaches …"

According to the current "Project Star" web page you are NOT allowed to make a submission unless your role in in the change proposal.
In that case you can go to a 1 hour forum!
It does not say how long you are allowed to speak however.
