Library Standing Committees

Purpose: To enable consultation as a basis for service development and the creation of best practices in support of Harvard Library’s goals and objectives.

• Diversify and Expand Access to Knowledge

• Enhance Discovery and Engagement

• Preserve for the Future

From original:

The Standing Committees reflect the Library's five Strategic Priorities, and operate by the following principles:

The Committees will foster a culture of inclusiveness by encouraging the sharing of ideas at all levels, communicating openly about their activities, and facilitating collaboration and innovation wherever possible. The Committees will hold regular meetings, post public minutes, and appoint working groups as necessary to explore, implement, and assess these efforts. Members and chairs will serve two-year terms with staggered membership terms. Members will be selected from across the Harvard Library system according to the principles of representation set by the Library Leadership Team (LLT). These principles have been interpreted by the LLT as a starting point and as the work of Standing Committees may differ, co-chairs may use discretion in determining membership and will strive to be inclusive.
