I propose the following as the philosophy for the UUG library / librarian:
Mission:
- To support the mission of the UUG by promoting and facilitating
extracurricular study of topics related to the UUG.
Objectives:
- Ensure the UUG library is superior to the BYU Library (HBLL) in at
least one dimension. Possibilities include:
- Textbooks
- Materials not found at the HBLL (Make magazine)
- del.icio.us/uug/
- Book reviews
- Longer check-out times
- Introduce UUG members to high-quality resources for extracurricular
study
- Magazine
- Videos
- Websites
- Books
Duties:
- Manage the UUG library
- Check out physical materials
- As resources permit, expand the library
- Invite members to present reviews of material during UUG meetings.
Cheers,
James
