colleges. Make recommendations on how this program can be sustainable.
Outreach &Research Support

infrastructure, both internally (within the Libraries) and externally (on campus and in the community).

particular skills or expertise and ensure appropriate intra‐departmental collaboration.
Instruction

Framework.
Collections

as indicated by new degree programs, faculty hires, increasing enrollments, etc. Speci�ically, determine a
methodology for general prioritization of subject areas.
