Senator
Nunjundappa announced that he had no news regarding the bargaining situation.
Senator
Arkenberg asked for an update on the Inter-library Loan Policy which proposes
to limit the number of requests per year.
Chair Gilbert explained the Executive Committee met two weeks ago with
representatives from the Library to discuss the new proposed policy, which also
has been endorsed by the Senate Library Committee and Council of Deans. The
recommendation proposes that the general number set as a limit would be 250 per
year. Senator Fitch noted that
researchers who use foreign language resources, of which the library has few,
could be severely impacted by too low a limit.
Senator Buck said there should be more input from faculty and a wider
discussion of limits.
