Thank you, Library Council!
Thanks to the Library Council for organizing the Crusher’s baseball game outing. It was great! Shady seats, no humidity, peanuts, cracker jacks, and we won!! Who could ask for anything more?

Library Council will not meet today – the 4th Wednesday of the month is designated as “meet if needed” and there are no agenda items that seem urgent. Please feel free to submit agenda items using this form or talk to any member of the Council.

Lake Erie Crushers Event Poll

For reference, the Crushers Stadium is 25-33 minutes from Tappan Square, depending on routes taken. Every Friday game, also comes with a side of fireworks.

We hope to see you there!
Take note and update as needed: LibGuide for staff documentation
In addition to nearly completing the revision of the Library Council Organization and Structure Document (final tweaks still to come), Library Council reviewed the OCL staff documentation hub LibGuide: https://libguides.oberlin.edu/OCL_Staff
This is where you can find the “honeycomb” visualization of Oberlin College Libraries: How We Work and a handy document that defines committee, work group, task force, and other groups as they function among libraries staff.
This LibGuide is ours, collectively, to maintain for internal procedures and policies – especially those procedures that impact multiple departments and policies that should be widely shared. Please review and consider what is missing, what should be updated, and (importantly) should be moved from the Libraries Blackboard pages to this LibGuide.
