Member, Faculty Bylaws Committee, 2020-2021; 2025-2026 

This committee reviews the Librarian Bylaws and proposes amendments to the Bylaws as needed.

During my 2020-2021 time on this committee, I created a Microsoft Teams space to aid in knowledge transfer and organization and migrated relevant bylaws documents.

Member, Catalog Development Advisory Working Group (CDAWG), 2023-2025  

CDAWG members help gather and interpret feedback about the catalog; help the development team prioritize features to improve the catalog; and assist in relaying information to the wider staff. CDAWG members meet with the development team at each sprint review (as often as twice a month and otherwise may meet independently each month as needed. My specialized expertise regarding video games and government publications (with their SuDoc call number system) allowed me to give unique insight regarding the catalog and proposed changes.

Member, Handbook Language Review Committee, 2021

This committee was tasked with removal of gendered, discriminatory, or exclusionary language; update “Director” to “Dean;” ensure policies are accurate and current; remove outdated information; update links to university policies; update policy on university equipment leaving the library; resolve any conflicting language for professional leave and sabbatical policy; add language on secondary assignments; clarify and add updated policies regarding when job changes are sent to the Faculty Attairs Committee (FAC); and migrate the Handbook to Confluence for ease of updating in the future. I presented an update on this committee’s work at the Fall 2021 Library Faculty Assembly.

Chair, Faculty Affairs Committee, 2019-2020  

I served as Chair of FAC during the first year of COVID. There were no raises this year due to budgetary uncertainty, so we did not review librarian evaluations for the raise pool. We did review changes to librarian’s primary and secondary duties, and I prepared letters regarding these changes on behalf of the committee.

Member, Steering Committee, 2019-2020 

Along with other members of this committee, I provided feedback and recommendations to the Dean of Libraries regarding aspects that affect the library.
