Library Student Advisory Committee

Purpose

The purpose of the Library Student Advisory Committee is to bring together a diverse group of students to offer regular feedback on Libraries’ spaces, activities, and services. Members will meet throughout the academic year and engage in focus groups, usability testing, surveys, and other tasks. Each year, the committee will focus on a specific area of the library, offering targeted recommendations for improvement.

In the first year, the committee will focus on improving the physical library space. Later, we will expand to include online students when evaluating the library as a whole.
