III.
Remarks of the Dean: The Dean
distributed the final report from the Government Documents Task Force detailing
the pros and cons of the creation of a Statewide Light Repository and Paper vs.
Electronic formats for documents. The Dean also distributed a chart comparing
government documents staffing at all of ISU’s peer institutions, which
highlighted a trend toward combining the government documents desk with the
main reference desk. In an effort to offset current staffing shortages in
Reference, the Dean proposed closing the government documents desk and moving K.
Gaul to the Reference department. The Dean also proposed that S. Gregg be moved
into cataloging to continue work with respect to the government documents
collection.
The committee discussed
the Dean’s proposal, and in its advisory capacity, agreed with the necessity
and merits of the change. The committee recommends this change in structure,
and will forward the proposal to LFA for approval.
