Communications Committee Bulletin 8, June 1, 2004

Questions and Answers
The Communications Committee has received many suggestions and comments from YUL staff. Some have asked what happens to the suggestions that are sent to us. The committee reviews suggestions, questions, and comments in our regular meetings. If an action is required, one of the three sub-groups works on it. If the action is beyond the scope of our charge, we forward the suggestion to the appropriate person in the library. We will soon update our website to include a running list of questions, comments, and suggestions. We will also occasionally post responses in Library Links. The goal is to ensure two-way communication and to respond to those who have taken the time to give us feedback. Some responses to suggestions follow

· There should be a box where employees who don't have access to a computer or want to be sure that their comments/suggestions are actually anonymous can be placed. I think the ideal location in SML would be the SPOON. The box should be opened only by the Communications Committee. Response: DONE

· CC should look at communications in a very broad sense. Response: The CC agrees. We keep this in mind in our discussions and when deciding on certain projects.

· How about a recycling bin for paper in the Spoon? Response: Referred to John Vicente and Diane Tuner

· Signs reserving either room of the Spoon should have the date and time (including prep time) of the reservation and should be removed after the event. Response: The CC agreed that this was a good idea. Referred to Diane Turner

REMINDER
Please join us at the CC Update to Staff (reprise). The update is scheduled for Thursday June 10 at 2:30 in the Sterling Memorial Library Lecture Hall. We hope to see you there.
