University Library Council

The University Library Council (ULC) was the first Council established to provide joint oversight of a University activity by the College Park Senate and by the supervising Vice President. Councils are authorized in Article 8.5 of the University Plan of Organization. General rules concerning Councils are given in Article 7 of the Bylaws to that Plan. The structure and mission of the ULC are described in Article 8 of the Bylaws. The report of the Committee that recommended this structure and mission is in Appendix 2 to the Bylaws.

The ULC is advisory to the Dean of Libraries. It is appointed jointly by the Provost and the Senate, and reports to both. Appointees include a faculty chair, six additional faculty members, a library staff member, an undergraduate student, and a graduate student. Ex officio are representatives of the Provost and the Dean, and, representing the Senate, the Library staff senator. The ULC meets regularly, usually with the Dean, and advises him/her on all library issues of interest to the University community.
