Charge
Body to which the group reports: the CARLI Board.
Scope of work: The I-Share Users' Group shall serve to coordinate the consortial aspects of the I-Share system, developing best practices and seeking opportunities for consortial collaboration in support of greater efficiency and better service to users. The I-Share Users' Group will oversee the work of the five functional subcommittees: acquisitions and serials, cataloging and authority control, instruction, OPAC, and resource sharing. The activities of these functional groups shall include assisting the CARLI Office in planning education/training workshops, facilitating topical discussions (e.g., forums), and preparing recommendations concerning specifications, implementation, and ongoing support for services related to these five functional areas. The IUG shall also develop an annual IUG Plan outlining the group's planned activities for the coming year, and incorporating applicable elements of CARLI planning documents and initiatives, as well as program recommendations received from the I-Share membership.
Process for identifying, appointing and replacing members and terms of service:
The committee members will serve a 3-year term and terms will commence on July 1. The committee members will be appointed from a pool of volunteers and/or nominees. Every spring, IUG will identify 3-5 current members who will serve as a Nominating Committee. The Nominating Committee reviews the volunteer list and establishes a draft roster for IUG and the IUG subcommittees. The CARLI Executive Committee will review the draft roster of the IUG, make any suggestions for changes as appropriate, and notify Nominating Committee of the final roster. A rotation system will be established so that approximately a third of the committee membership is appointed each year. In the case of mid-term vacancies, the IUG will recommend candidates, and the CARLI Executive Committee will appoint new committee members to fill the remaining portion of the term.
Expected reporting frequency: The committee chair will submit a written report of committee’s activities to the CARLI Board at the end of the fiscal year (June 30). Additional updates on activities may be requested by the CARLI Board throughout the year.
Staff or Board liaisons: One CARLI Office staff representative will serve as the liaison to IUG. The IUG chair will report on committee plans and activities at the CARLI Board meetings. The IUG chair or CARLI Office staff representative will report back to the committee on plans and activities discussed at the CARLI Board meetings.
Tasks required on completion of work: The chair will forward documents dealing with staffing, policy, and budget issues to the CARLI Board for review and approval.
