Membership shall consist of one faculty member from each of the representation units (except the College of University Studies), the Senate liaison person, two students, a representative from the Staff Senate, a representative from Information Technology Services, and the Director of the NDSU Libraries.
Committee responsibilities are to formulate policy recommendations for the NDSU Libraries relating to areas such as general operations, interlibrary loans, borrowing privileges, periodicals, acquisitions, media, databases, and electronic and other services.
(From: Constitution & Bylaws; Section 6, University Senate, April 15, 1996)
The charge of the University Senate Library Committee is to formulate policy recommendations for the North Dakota State University Library. Due to the challenges facing the NDSU Library, the University Senate Library Committee has been structured to include three working groups with three separate and distinct responsibilities:
"The charge of the Constituency Working Group is to make policy and recommendations that facilitate and improve working relationships between the library and the community at North Dakota State University. The goal of this working group is to enhance the services and communication of the library’s staff and librarians between faculty, students, and staff at the university and members of the community at large."
"The charge of the New Library Building Working Group is to envision the possibilities of a new university library, identify the essential elements to be considered in its planning, and articulate the arguments for investment in a new library. The working group will participate in the feasibility study and schematic design process with the architectural firm MS&R, and inform the university community about them, with the aim of building support for wise, strategic investment. The New Library Working Group will also bring interested stakeholders together to envision a new library, including librarians, staff, faculty, and students."
"The charge of the Web Redesign Working Group is to guide the redesign and continuing development of the North Dakota State University Library website. The focus will be on improving usability and access, and ensuring the website is adaptable to changes in technology and user needs. The website supports the education and research missions of the library and university."
