Overview
Strategic planning in the University Libraries is a continuous process involving university faculty, staff, and students. The process began in November of 2001, when facilitator/consultant Lou Wetherbee worked with a Core Planning Group (CPG) of volunteers and nominees from the Libraries to set initial goals and directions. The process was complemented by focus groups with faculty, environmental scans conducted by staff, follow-up meetings with staff to further refine and define the goals, and action groups focusing on the major directions. The Core Planning Group continues to guide and direct the efforts identified in the original process and works with others to set new goals to better meet the research, teaching, and service needs of the University and community. CPG coordinates the planning process by pursuing action items, generating ideas, and giving voice to ideas originated by library staff. We welcome your feedback and suggestions for this process. Please email your comments to the CPG team.
