About the Council

The Sherrod Library Faculty Advisory Council (SLFAC) serves the library and the rest of the university by providing a forum for two-way communications between ETSU’s faculty and the Sherrod Library. Comprised primarily of ETSU departmental representatives and Sherrod Library librarians and administrators, council members provide faculty perspectives and input regarding Sherrod Library collections, spaces, and services.  

Members of the council will also assist in communicating news regarding library developments and participating in initiatives that impact the colleges’ programs, departments, colleagues, and students.  

Council activities include and are not limited to:  

  • Communicating concerns and ideas for new or improved library services. 
  • Collecting, prioritizing, and communicating departmental book, media, and electronic resources purchase recommendations. 
  • Assisting the library with database trials, surveys, discussions, etc. to gather feedback regarding possible significant acquisitions, withdrawals, or cancelations 
  • Sharing information provided by the library with departments’ faculty and students. 

Council operations:

  • The council will meet, at a minimum, once a semester during the academic year.  
  • The Dean and the library faculty’s designee will serve as co-conveners.  
  • All librarians will serve as standing members of the council. 
  • Other Sherrod Library faculty and colleagues from other units may be invited to participate in meetings or ongoing council projects.

Membership

Membership will remain flexible to account for any campus constituency intersecting with the Sherrod Library and its role in the research and teaching mission of the university.  

Primarily, members will include:  

  • Representatives from academic departments and centers from the following ETSU colleges: Arts & Sciences, Business and Technology, Clemmer, Clinical and Rehabilitative Health Sciences, Honors, Graduate & Continuing Studies, Nursing, and Public Health.   
  • Departments, centers, and other units may select representatives in any matter they choose. Representatives serve 2-year, renewable terms.  
  • Sherrod Library will be represented by the Dean of University Libraries and all Sherrod Library librarians.
