Task force tackling library budget issues posts Q&A for updates
A with answers to questions related to Western Washington University's Taskforce on Sustainable Access to Scholarly Resources is now accessible online.
As mentioned in the current issue of Western Libraries’ quarterly newsletter , a new task force has recently formed to tackle the library resources budget deficits facing Western.
Task force members have been appointed by the Faculty Senate, and bring a diversity of perspectives based upon their teaching and research expertise and experiences. Members were selected from different colleges and academic disciplines throughout Western in order to represent the university at large.
Together the task force members will work to recommend to the Libraries broad principles and criteria for use when reducing or adding scholarly resources to the Libraries collections in support of faculty and students’ teaching, learning, and research needs.
