Budget — All

Managers had a few questions about what to do with the spreadsheets supplied for the final budget.

Job Description, Director of Collections and Digital Strategies – Tim 

Tim referenced the job descriptions that he had forwarded to the managers earlier.  The Director of Collections and Digital Strategies position would replace the previous position of Deputy Executive Director, Materials and Outreach.  The duties of the position would include supervision of the managers of Materials Selection, Cataloging & Interlibrary Loan, and Technical Processing.  The duties of supervising Outreach have been moved to the public service side and will no longer be a part of this position’s responsibilities.

The group discussed the job description and made suggestions for changes.  Tim will incorporate the changes and report back before or at the April 14 meeting.
