Financial resources for the strategic steering teams

Exact details still be worked out
Goal is to use funds strategically more so than operationally.
Some questions about how resource allocation works for our team which is quite different than teams linked to departments that already have a budget (Collection Development and Communications)
Possible ideas for our team:

Student worker
Additional professional development funds for team members
Resources for events: food, marketing, raffle prizes, etc.
Develop an official marketing campaign to broaden awareness of the Libraries’ services beyond traditional roles
Budget for additional mini grants to support open access and other schol comm initiatives (similar to $200 awards for faculty attending the open textbook workshops)

Action Item: Continue thinking about this and let AJ know if we have any other ideas funding needs for our team.
