The Project Review Committee is accepting proposals to develop new services or capabilities in the Libraries. We are creating a new process with the goal of making it easier to take good ideas from conception to reality. Proposals are welcomed from any member of the staff.
A project should meet at least one of the following criteria:
- It requires input and buy-in beyond the originating unit.
- The anticipated staff time needed goes beyond the usual work of affected staff.
- The costs associated with it are beyond what can be supported by existing local or central budget lines.
Process
1. Fill out the simple template (add link)
2. The committee will review the submissions and will be in touch with the submitter if clarification is needed.
3. The committee will approve proposals that seem worth further development and also forward copies to Steering Committee. (link to something about our criteria here) Proposals that are not approved will be returned to submitters with reasons and also advice on potential changes or alternate routes for the idea.
4. Submitters of approved proposals will then fill out the full template. (add link) A small pool of expert staff will be designated to help proposers flesh out their follow-up proposals. Submit the full template to the committee.
5.
