WORKING GROUPS

 

Overview

Eight (8) working groups have been formed that cover the general areas of the system in order to advise and make decisions on their specific area. The chair of each working group will sit on the Implementation Team. Most of the working aligned with a standing committee and should report regularly to that committee. All working group will also be responsible for communicating with their respective Discussion Group as well. Any working group may form specialty sub-groups as needed.

Membership to the working groups is preferred to be no more than eight participants plus a chair, subject to Executive Committee approval. A balance between college and university staff is encourage, when appropriate. The member represent the state-wide experts in their specific subject area. FALSC staff will be assigned to assist each working group with their work.

Working group members may be asked to be a liaison to another working group in order to ensure that a particular service is adequately addressed. All members are expected to be active participants in their working group, and members not fully participating in the work of the group may be asked to leave.

Working groups generally meet virtually via web conferencing on bi-weekly or weekly basis. Meetings are typically not open to non-members, but the working groups are encouraged to have special open discussion meetings when they have an issue that requires more input. The work of all working groups are posted on their respective sections on the project's Libguide.
