Service Quality Improvement Council

Staffing Issues Group
Minutes, August 10, 1999

Present: Maureen Heher, Emily Horning (recording), Sandy Peterson, Cesar Rodriguez.

I. The minutes from the last meeting were presented. No changes were made.

II. Sandy reported on her discussion with Diane Turner regarding a budget for the staff award program. Diane suggested $500. It was suggested that this amount be increased, especially if it is expected to cover expenses for a party for student employees. Committee members originally intended that this party be open to all student employees in the library, not just nominees, as an incentive. Sandy will present some budget ideas at our next meeting.

Awards: Bridget Burke has agreed to print award certificates, and bookplates if we choose (though she does not recommend these). Emily will ask Bridget how much these awards (up to 7) might cost. Sandy will consult with Diane Turner and Carolyn Claflin about a place in the Library for award plaques, and will find out where the plaque for deceased library staff was made.

Various changes to the draft version of our proposal for a staff award program were proposed. Sandy will incorporate these into a new version, which she will present at our next meeting.

The group will meet next on Tuesday, September 14th.
