The Library Committee of the University Senate was formed to function as liaison between the faculty, students, and the University administration; to study library services and policies including budget matters; and to make appropriate recommendations to the University Senate. Furthermore, the Committee acts at the request of the Senate, the administration, or the Director of Libraries in helping to solve special problems related to the library. The Committee is composed of eight faculty members from the various areas in the University (one being a non-administrative faculty member with the rank of Librarian) serving three-year terms, three students (one of whom is a graduate student) serving two-year terms, and the Director of Libraries (ex-officio). The chairperson is to be elected by the Committee. The Committee is responsible to the University Senate and reports to both the University Senate and the Academic Vice-President and Provost. Prior to the organization of the University Senate in 1971 the committee was a presidential committee called the Library Advisory Committee.
