Charge:
The Provost’s Library Advisory Committee (PLAC) provides advice to the Provost and Vice Provost for the UConn Library. The advice regards matters of library policy that the PLAC Chair, Vice Provost for UConn Library, or the Provost elect to bring to the Committee. Appropriate issues for PLAC include all forms of scholarly information acquisition by the University and all forms of information delivery to its faculty and students. Appointed by the Provost’s Office, membership includes representation from each of the schools and colleges, from disciplines within CLAS, and from at least one of the Regional Campuses. Undergraduate Student Government and the Graduate Student Senate are also invited to appoint a representative to the Committee. Appointments are for a two year term and members may be reappointed at the end of a term.
