Standing Subcommittees of the ULC
ULC has five standing subcommittees to enable the charge of the committee to
be fulfilled in a timely and informed manner: Automation, Budget,
Intellectual Property, Library Services and User Education, and Serials and
Collections. A Campus Libraries subcommittee, established four years ago to
explore possibilities for physical consolidation of collections, completed
an extensive investigation into this issue and was dissolved this year.
Members of the ULC also serve on the Memorial Library Committee and the
University Archives Committee. Attendance at ULC meetings by campus library
staff assures a voice in ULC recommendations by all units affected. The
full committee meets eight times per academic year. The subcommittees meet
or communicate as needed.
