Appendix 4: Library committees

General Library Committee

The General Library Committee (GLC) met four times in 2003. The committee provides a forum for advice and guidance to the University Librarian on the strategic operation and direction of the library, and acts as an advisory committee to the Academic Board.

Major issues considered by GLC included:

  • The impact of the high use of electronic resources, including freely available web products, on teaching and student learning and essay writing. The library has been tracking research in this area and a university-wide forum organised by the library and emanating from GLC has been proposed for 2004.
  • The various methods by which the library plans to capture the research output of the university initially and more widely in future. Initiatives introduced were the Australian Research Repositories Online to the World (ARROW) DEST funded joint project; Monash University ePress and the ePrint repository.
  • The revision of the acquisitions budget funding formula.
  • Facilities and campus planning including the Facilities Master Plan for coordinated design and facilities planning across the libraries.
  • Quality review and subsequent external panel report.
  • Library hours of opening.
  • Information literacy program and framework.
  • Key new resources.
