Search Procedures Committee Meeting Minutes
30 November 2000

The meeting was called to order at 9:15a.m., by Chair Michael Aldrich.

Susan distributed minutes of the 11/22/00 meeting and copies of the current Search Committee procedures for staff.

Michael reviewed charges 2 and 3 to the Committee, which consist of (2) reviewing & revising (if necessary) procedures for handling staff hiring, search & promotion, and (3) examining staff positions we currently have which are not included in the Library's Human Resources Manual (ILL Supervisor, Circulation Manager, Office Manager).

At the last meeting, the Committee began reviewing current support staff procedures. We then reviewed the minutes of the previous meeting and went over the steps of the alternative (non-Committee) plan for support staff hiring.

Most of our procedures are just clarification/amplification of current UWG policy; therefore, rather than rewriting our policies, might we consider just referring to applicable UWG policy, instead of including them in our text? This way, we avoid the need to rewrite our own policies every time something in UWG policies change.

The Committee then went step-by-step through the current support staff hiring procedures again, looking for ways to simplify and include references to UWG policies, rather than include them verbatim in our policy. A revised version, taking into accounts changes made at this meeting, will be posted on the web by Michael.

The next meeting is scheduled for 9:00am, Wednesday, December 6th. Meeting adjourned at 10:00am.

Respectfully submitted,
Carol Goodson, Secretary
