The Seminary Libraries

• Support the “Working Library Committee” to refine conceptual drawings in light of faculty and student input and the evolving library vision document.

• Support the ad hoc trustee Library Committee as it works with the Working Library Committee, the architects, and the Facilities and Seminary Relations committees of the board.

• Complete pre-construction preparation:  maximize space for collection growth until construction (15,000 books per year), process large manuscript collections, and provide detailed plans for interim library service.

• Realign technical services areas (acquisitions, serials, and cataloging) with new models of acquisitions and access, relying on outsourcing where possible and feasible.

• Develop library-wide infrastructure requirements, policies, and procedures and bring together current digital projects in a consolidated digital library initiative.

• Lift up the role of the library in the current curriculum review process.

• Invigorate Seminary bicentennial publication projects with publicity and author support.
