Meet the Library Board
The University Library Board serves as an advisory body to the Dean of Libraries. Eight
faculty members, appointed by the Vice President for Academic Affairs, serve staggered
two-year terms. Two student representatives (one undergrad and one grad) are appointed
annually. Several librarians meet with the Board in an ex-officio capacity, including Mr.
Jay Kirk, Coordinator of Collection Development; Mr. Michael Pate, Associate Director;
Prof. Peter Schanck, Law Library Director; and Dr. Nicholas Burckel, Dean of Libraries.
The Board considers library matters “insofar as they affect the teaching and
research of faculty and the learning environment for students” (from The Faculty
Handbook). Recent meeting topics have included the collections budget, technology issues,
consortial agreements, and planning for Raynor Library. Chair Will Kos encourages faculty
to share their questions or agenda items. They may contact their departmental library
representatives or any Board members. Meeting minutes and a list of all departmental
representatives are posted on the Library's web site.
