Membership Terms

PPWG members will generally serve 2-year terms, while a few members of the committee may rotate off after the first year in order to stagger membership.

This practice is being adopted to ensure the ongoing inclusion of new voices in the PPWG conversation. Members will represent a variety of departments and services across all of Temple University Libraries locations. Committee members may serve a second successive term to ensure continuity of operations.

Membership in the group is optional and a member can volunteer to leave the group at the end of each fiscal year. Members leaving the group will be asked to recommend another TULUP staff member from their department for appointment to the group in their place. The group leader will have the final say on appointing new members to the group.

New members should consult with their supervisors before accepting any member offers. New members will gain access to our PPWG team drive in advance of their first meeting to onboard into the group.

Member Expectations
