The board was started in 2011 to help the libraries learn more about our users and our community to meet their evolving needs. It also allows the libraries to explore effective and creative responses to our users' learning and research behaviors.
Beginning in the 2022-2023 academic year, the Board chooses an annual project to sponsor within the University Libraries. Our current project is an "Adulting 101" fair in collaboration with Ekstrom Library's Access & User Services, which will take place during the 2025-2026 year!
Past Projects:
All currently enrolled students (graduate students, too!) are eligible to join. We'd love to hear from you, so come join the conversation!
We meet two or three times per semester with each meeting lasting around an hour - virtual participation is available as well. We ask each member to commit to participating in at least 2 meetings per year and attending at least one library event. On a monthly basis, members are asked to complete a brief survey or respond to email feedback.
Our meetings cover a wide variety of topics and activities that help inform our work in the libraries. This includes things like design choices for renovations and upgrades, website upgrades, and policy changes. You can see more specifics in the Past Meeting Agendas below.
Fall 2025 meetings will be scheduled soon!
