Committee responsibilities

The work of this committee is driven by ULS Executive Committee needs and thus varies year to year. Committee work for the current year has been done virtually via online meetings and e-mail.

Some of the committee’s typical responsibilities include the following:

  • Reviewing ULS policies and procedures as required by the ULS Executive Committee
  • Making recommendations for actions on changes to existing policies as requested by the ULS Executive Committee
  • Updating, revising, and maintaining the ULS policies and LibGuides as necessary based on changes to procedures.

The committees use this online form to submit requests for promotion of committee and discussion group activities.
