Information Services Advisory Groups

There are a number of committees and interest groups at Macalester geared toward discussing issues related to information resources, broadly considered. Although these groups have different goals, structures, constituencies, agendas and interests, all share concerns with various aspects of information services within the context of Macalester as an academic community.

• The Information Services Advisory Committee. This committee, chaired by Professor Eric Wiertelak, advises Joel Clemmer, Vice President for Library and Information Services. The Committee assists in planning and overseeing issues of general interest for Macalester College's Information Services departments: Computing and Information Technology, the DeWitt Wallace Library and Media Services. Membership includes faculty, staff, students (and, in an ex officio role, staff members from each of the Information Services departments).

• The Administrative Users' Group. Chaired by Doug Rosenberg, this group meets regularly to discuss issues relating to CARS and other computing tools affecting on-campus administrative offices.

• The Web Management Team. This group is responsible for creating the policies and procedures which guide the development of Macalester's presence on the World Wide Web. The WMT is chaired by Sara Suelflow, the College's Web Coordinator. WMT holds periodic brown-bag discussions to gather input from the Macalester community regarding our Web site--these discussions are typically announced in the Campus Bulletin and the Today.
