Appendix 5: Library committees

General Library Committee

General Library Committee met four times in 2008.  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.

Presentations featured in the year’s meetings included the Library’s leadership role in data management at Monash, continuing progress in the development of the Learning Skills initiative and linking to Library resources from Google Scholar.  The Committee also endorsed the Library’s 2007 annual report and the strategic plan for 2009-2011.  A new initiative arising out of General Library Committee’s discussions was a Student Forum hosted jointly by the Library and Information Technology Services.
