Kia ora koutou,

The Library Committee met today and the theme was “Customer Services”.  Te Paea gave a presentation about the aims and role of the Customer Services Team, which sparked some useful discussion.

Other business included:

• Discussion of the Librarian’s Report (available here: K:\Management\Reporting\UC-meetings\Library-Committee\2016)
• Summer hours and hours for 2017 were discussed, and a request made that we extend the hours that Central Library is open during exam periods
• Helen outlined the IRAG recommendations for new subscriptions, and the proposal to cancel WoS and JCR
• The changes to the  Information Resources Policy as suggested by SMT were highlighted
• The UCSA undergraduate representative gave his report:
  • The UCSA elections process has started
  • He raised the issue of high levels of anxiety among  students, and encouraged us to know who to refer students to
  • The USCA building will start to be demolished next week, and the site should be clear by November

Please let me know if you would like any further details on the points above.

Ngā mihi,

Sara
