MOTION 1: 

?

"That Senate approve that the Dean of Continuing Studies 

be added as a member, ex officio, to the Senate Library 

Committee." 

Note: The Senate Committee on Agenda and Rules believes that no 

motion is required on the recommendation pertaining to the 

keeping of pertinent Senate Committees informed of 

conclusions of the Senate Library Committee. The Senate 

Library Committee is not inhibited from taking such actions 

under current procedures. 

The Senate Committee on Agenda and Rules concurs with the 

proposed change in membership of the Senate Library Committee.

The Senate Library Committee has received a request from 

the Dean of Continuing Studies that membership of the Senate 

Library Committee be expanded to permit representation 

Continuing Studies while at the same time the Committee, which 

has been considering how to execute its duties more effectively, 

considers the terms of reference may need clarification and 

also considers that it needs the guidance of Senate. 

The Senate Library Committee is about to carry out an 

assessment of the collections now held by Divisions but considers 

that such action will not be fruitful unless it is aware of the 

short- and long-term academic goals and objectives of Simon 

Fraser University. 

?

The Committee would appreciate the guidance 

• ? 

of Senate, therefore, on these goals and objectives. 

The Senate Library Committee considers that any conclusions 

it arrives at regarding any assessment may be of interest to a 

Senate Committee, and that paragraph 2 of its terms of reference 

under Purpose , which states that it is * 

To report to Senate on matters of policy 

does not preclude it from reporting to any Committee of Senate. 

To obviate any potential disagreement, the Senate Library 

Committee requests that this phrase be amended to read 

To report to Senate and its Committees on matters 

of policy 

The Senate Library Committee considers that the Dean of 

Continuing Studies holds a position analogous to that 

the

Dean 

Graduate Studies, and therefore recommends to Senate 

that its terms of reference be revised to permit participation 

ex officio 

?

by the Dean of Continuing Studies or, in the absence 

of the Dean, by the Acting Dean. 

The above recommendations were discussed at the meeting 

held 5 July 1976.
