The Strategic Plan Steering Committee is seeking volunteers for two groups. The first will help to develop the Academic Year (AY) 2017-18 Action Plan. The group will review the progress made on the AY 2016-17 plan, review ideas gathered for new action items, and seek new ideas from our colleagues in a variety of venues, including online opportunities for brainstorming. The group will be charged in early December and their work will commence in January.

A few colleagues are also sought to help with a regular blog series on the strategic plan. We are seeking interest from colleagues with in an interest in writing short articles for the University Libraries news blog. Each article will describe new developments in our profession as well as the ways in which the University Libraries is contributing to them locally and nationally through the Strategic Action Plan.

Anyone interested in serving in either capacity or in discussing either further can get in contact with Joe Salem at jsalem@psu.edu.
