University of Oregon Library System

• August 1 to July 31

• LSA is for all library staff and should plan a variety of events so there is something for everyone. We may contact branch libraries or individual departments and ask if there is anything we can do for them, or co-sponsor events with other groups.
• Committee members should try to make everyone feel welcome and part of the team. It's important for all LSA volunteers to have a good experience so they will continue as volunteers and encourage their coworkers to sign up.
• LSA volunteers should be drawn from new and old staff, faculty and classified, branch and main libraries, and a variety of departments.

• Association Calendar
• Constitution and Bylaws
• Policy for LSA participation
• Committees page
• Individual committee pages
• LSA's web site generally

• Chairperson to call the meetings and keep track of projects
• Representative to the Executive Council for occasional Council meetings
• Web updater

• Minutes for significant meetings should be posted on the web.
• Decisions and recurring procedures should be documented on the web.
• An annual report should be mounted on the web by July 31. Can be very brief, or more detailed. Easiest to add things as they occur during the year.
• Each committee has a directory on Poison (under Data/Groups/Lsa) where it can share and archive information that doesn't need to go on the web.

• When planning an event, find out from the Ways & Means chair how much is budgeted for it.
• Complete the reimbursement form to request reimbursement from the Treasurer for committee expenses.
• Give detailed expenditure information to the Ways & Means chair as soon as possible following an event.

• Notify Publicity Committee of events right away (they will update events page, prepare flyer, etc.)
• Try to give notice of major events to library staff at least a month in advance.
• If the committee has questions, ask the LSA Chair.
• LSA volunteers are automatically subscribed to a listserv: lsa@lists.uoregon.edu. Feel free to use it! Questions about the listserv should be directed to Andrew Howell.
