Meeting
Manager: Dale Canelas
Meeting Facilitator: Trudi DiTrolio
1. LMS
Committee
A
number of the committee members would be going to Orlando on Tuesday and plan
to narrow down the list from four to two or three. Those on the short list will
give presentations in late February and early March.
2. Budget
Status
Barbara Oliver reported that the library was on schedule with the budget in every area except for OPS. She said the OPS budget is looking at a large deficit and it is important for each department to not spend more than was allotted.
She
said that the university divisions were mandated to encumber any carry forward
funds by the end of the year. The lists that were presented for request were
filled for the most part.
In
the past, any salary savings was made into carry forward funds, but the
governor is trying to change that so that the money goes back to the state.
3. Internship
Program
Denise Bogart-Caballero announced that the decision had been made to create a student internship policy. This is a way to keep the Library Personnel office in the loop, rather than having each individual area handling their own.
4. Student
Raise Guidelines
Denise
handed out the current guidelines (http://web.uflib.ufl.edu/pers/develop/Salary.html).
The policy hasn’t been followed for the last three years. Dale said it wasn’t
fair if competition was created between the departments because some
departments pay more than others. The group decided that student workers should
receive raises based on amount of time worked and the duties they perform.
Denise asked that department supervisors send her ideas of skill levels and
appropriate placement of the skills in the job classification. She will put
together a new set of guidelines with base salaries and have it reviewed by a
task force. Dale also asked that
Denise find out what the university’s average student salary is. She also asked
Barbara Oliver to determine what a cross-the-board student raise of 25 cents
and 50 cents would cost the library.
5. University
Update
Dale reported on the morning’s Dean’s meeting. She said President Young discussed the current happenings in the state government and how Senator Bob Graham’s entrance into the Board of Regents fight is affecting the process.
She
said Governor Bush’s budget doesn’t appear to be as bad as originally feared,
but that the libraries and agriculture programs are hurt the most. She also
gave a brief overview of the budget.
6. Mid-year
Assessment of Progress Toward Goals
Dale asked that every chair look at the goals
posted on the website and send Dale an update of the progress their area has
made toward completing those goals. She would like the reports to follow the
structure of the goals document so that there is a uniform report
library-wide. http://www.uflib.ufl.edu/toolbox/goal0010.html
