The Sept. 30, 2016, action plan update of the Libraries’ 2014-2019 Strategic Plan Steering Committee is now available as a PDF. As you review it, please note the progress on these action items over the last quarter.

Since the June 30 update, the Penn State strategic plan implementation has launched. As part of that process, University Libraries completed an alignment report in early September, further describing the ways in which our strategic plan and action items advance the Penn State plan. We anticipate more collaboration with external units as a result over the next year.

The Strategic Plan Steering Committee will be meeting soon to review the progress and process so far as well as next steps. Over the next month, we anticipate an open call for volunteers to gather feedback on the current action items and captures ideas for new action items. In the meantime, if you have any ideas that you would like to share, or are interested in serving on
that team, please let a member of the steering committee know.

We always welcome your feedback on the current update of the action plan, process for updating the action plan, communication strategy, and revisions to the strategic plan. Please feel free to send your comments or questions to any member of the Strategic Plan Steering Committee:
