New business EM was to give report from Library, but had to cancel due to illness. Spring Newsletter FM will use last year’s spring newsletter and redo it for this year. Should come out in March, so will get done after WC sale. Material needed by March 1. Library director will be asked for a report. Photos of library spaces suggested as many will not have seen all the renovations form last summer. We have already documented the Travel grants in previous newsletter, but will ask LH if she has any reports or photos of the recipient’s talks. Other Business Student Affairs committee of USG wants to put a new water bottle filler in the library. D is here to ask how that could happen? Where would it go and how does it get done? This is not really an action for FMTL, as it is USG $ and idea. FM: Identify where you want it, tell the librarian (EM) where it would be good to have it, and be clear that USG is paying for it. EH: Suggestion of bottle signage (big water drop image?), as well as retrofitting other drinking fountains (‘bubblers’!). FM: Message to GSG reps: always be thinking of what to spend $ on. Library acquisitions: SG: proposes more recent editions of scitech books? (but reminded that the library will not purchase textbooks). Ask librarian to make collections acquisition request. What is the greatest need? Databases? Monographs? Three donations acknowledgement cards distributed and board members wrote notes of thanks. Returned to AH for mailing. Meeting adjourned at 4:50 (FM motion; HN second; unanimous).
