Meetings

Held every other month (the non-staff meeting months) on the 3rd Tuesday at 3:00

The Year

For the committee it was pretty much business as usual. We invited and reviewed recommendations and forwarded our approvals to Tom Wilding for review. Committee members then followed up by having pictures of the awardees taken for display in the lobby of the Central Library. Many recipients opted not to have their picture taken.

Issues that Arose

It was suggested that changes in rank of librarians as a result of the career status process should be presented as part of the Spring Awards Reception to make the award more "special". This suggestion was passed along to the Chair of the Career Status Committee for consideration.

A suggestion came through the electronic staff suggestion box that LA1s and LA2s were at a disadvantage when being considered for the STAR Award. The Committee drafted a response that indicated that we would discuss this concern. It was decided that it would be good to have a discussion of our whole awards system at a later date in the year – before the next STAR Award process.

In response to another suggestion in the electronic suggestion box, we asked that DLS make the awards information available on the staff intranet. Candy was put to work on this task.
