Advisory Boards

Faculty Advisory Board

Created in fall 2007, the Library/Faculty Advisory Board (LFAB) is an essential sounding board for the library, particularly to enhance faculty engagement. Board Members facilitate faculty-library communications and partner with the library in areas of strategic concern including: scholarly communications, author rights, information policy and online presence.

Board members also serve as Library advocates and counselors, and have been particularly instrumental in guiding design of the "Library Next" initiative. The Board includes representatives from all Georgia Tech colleges and meets six times annually.

Undergraduate Advisory Board

The Library's Undergraduate Student Advisory Board provides direct student input to the Library’s senior administration including the Dean. Areas of input include: consulting on the library’s digital programs, services, collections, renovations, and marketing efforts.

Board members were integral in launching the Library Next process, and continue to be involved with both physical and digital programming. The Board also provides input regarding the G. Wayne Clough Undergraduate Learning Commons, which is connected to, and managed by, the library. The Board meets six times each academic year. Meetings are typically held on Thursdays at 11 a.m. in the Wilby Room and include lunch.
