Code of Conduct
Sandy and Javad have been working with others and with the Main Library to create a code of conduct. This code will allow us to have a standard that we can apply when we observe inappropriate behavior by library users. This is an internal document so I will attach it to the email update but will not include it in the blog posting. If you have questions or concerns about the code, please refer them to Sandy.
Budget
The university has been working for over a year on a new process to distribute tuition funds based on teaching hours. They are now working on how to determine funding for the libraries and other central services in this plan. Next week I’ll be meeting with Dr. Crist’s financial staff to discuss this a plan to direct more “indirect costs” from research grants to the AHSL
Travels
Next Monday and Tuesday I will be at the Eccles Health Sciences Library at the University of Utah for a meeting of the Four Corners Directors. This group meets several times a year to share ideas and plans and to evaluate possible collaborations. I’ll be bringing my winter coat!
Happy Thanksgiving!
I hope that everyone has a happy, safe and relaxing break!

Code, Space Committee
Code of Conduct
The University Library has created a Code of Conduct for those using the library. The code has been reviewed and approved by the legal affairs office and by campus police. Sandy and Javad will be reviewing this document and making changes that apply to the AHSL. After that it will be reviewed and approved by the Administrative Team. Having this policy in place should be a help to the folks on the Information Desk who have to deal with many “situations” at the desk. We will share it with you after it’s been revised.
Library Space Committee
Letters have gone out to the Deans on the Health Sciences Campus asking them to appoint a faculty and student representative to the Advisory Committee on Library Space. I hope to be able to convene the first meeting before Thanksgiving.

More PR, Harassment Policy & Course, Budget
AHSL and SIRLS
In the Winter Issue of the College of Social and Behavioral Sciences Alumni newsletter each School and program submitted a short report. The entry from the School of Information Resources and Library Science (SIRLS) talks about the Knowledge River Program, features Annabelle’s testimony before Congress and mentions the WeSearch program with local high schools that Pat and Annabelle have led.
Nondiscrimination and Anti-harassment policy
Per President Shelton’s email yesterday regarding the online course on this topic, I refer you to this copy of the university’s policy. Please review this policy and feel free to print a copy for future reference. I encourage you to take the online course. It takes about 30-45 minutes and is very useful and informative.

Budget Update
The budget situation is still unsettled; we never know when things will shift. However, at the moment, the picture isn’t too bad. The Governor has announced that she is going to accept the federal stimulus package for the next fiscal year. One of the requirements of that funding is that the state budget for education be maintained at no lower than 2006 levels. This means that a cut for the next fiscal year is likely to be less than 10%. In past years this would have been a huge decrease (especially considering that we took a similar cut this year), but it is much lower than earlier projections.

Hours, Policies
Yesterday I sent out an update about our new hours. I should have added these new policies that will clarify some situations that may occur now that the building will be closed from time-to-time. As we get more experience with this we may find a need to further refine or add to these policies. Please feel free to send me your thoughts or to pass them on to your supervisor.
Related Library Policies
• Library employees are expected to use their Holiday leave time to cover holidays when the library is closed.
• Library employees are not to be in the building when the library is closed unless the supervisor has given prior permission. Exceptions will be made for emergency situations such as computer or network problems, fire or police incidents, etc.
