Committee responsibilities

The work of this committee is driven by ULS Executive Committee needs and thus varies year to year. Committee work can be successfully completed 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.
    • Send an annual email reminder in September to all committee chairs, discussion group conveners, and Executive committee members to review/update their LibGuide content.
    • Make requested edits to LibGuides on behalf of ULS chairs, conveners, and Executive committee members. 
    • Upon request, provide editor access to ULS chairs, conveners, and Executive committee members by contacting ACRL staff to setup a LibGuides account and then the Procedures Committee chair can setup editor access to the appropriate LibGuide.
