The Strategic Planning team extends its thanks to all who assisted in the preparation and completion of the document.

Progress update

The final version of the extended strategic plan is almost at hand. Today, team members met for a holistic wordsmithing session. Brochure design and layout planning is already underway.

A few late entries for the tagline were received, and LX has endorsed: "Your partner in scholarship". Thank you to all who contributed.

This week, the team received an inquiry from another colleague in the US. They are also going through a strategic planning process, and are interested in seeing our draft. We were happy to share.

Draft plan delivered to University Librarian

The revised draft, incorporating feedback from the team roadtrips, was circulated to the Library Policy and Planning Group (LPPG) for discussion at their 25/7 meeting. It was approved by LPPG, and delivered to the University Librarian (UL) on July 30th.

The UL is now writing an introduction for the comprehensive, publicly available version. It will be shared with the Senior Deputy Vice Chancellor for comment, who will then write a 'welcome'. As with the plan for 2008-2012 (Mapping Our Future), the final document will be available as a brochure.

More news as it comes to hand.

Draft Strategic Plan roadtrip a success!

Eight feedback sessions for Library staff were held over July 4th to 12th, at Gatton, Ipswich, Herston, Mater, PACE and St Lucia.

Strategic Planning team members presented the process so far, then discussed comments with attending Library staff.

Great discussions were had at each session, along with much appreciated sustenance.

The team wishes to extend its thanks to all staff who contributed, either in person, or via proxies. It was clear that a lot of thought had gone into responses.

On 16/7, the team met to incorporate feedback captured - into the draft plan, values and mission statements. The University Librarian expects the final version by July 30th.

The document will be circulated to all Library staff, once available.

More news as it comes to hand.

The campus roadshows giving all Library staff an opportunity to comment on the draft UQ Library strategic plan will take place during the first two weeks of July (1st to 12th). Sessions will run for one hour.

Members from the Strategic Planning Team will give a very brief introduction to the document. Most of the session will be devoted to capturing your comments. We look forward to your feedback.

At St Lucia - three bookings have been made in the Library Conference Room: Thursday July 4th at 11.30 a.m.; Thursday July 4th at 2 p.m., and Tuesday 9th July at 9 a.m. Joanne will set up a booking schedule via the Training Calender.

Managers at other sites will be contacted shortly to set dates and times closer to home, within the two week period.

Once feedback from managers attending the 2.5 day strategic planning workshop has been incorporated, a draft will be circulated to all Library staff, by the end of this week.

A more fulsome notice will be circulated once all details have been locked down.

Draft Library strategic plan with workshop attendees

A draft version of the plan is with the Library managers who attended the 2.5 strategic planning workshop at the end of May. Their comments are due by June 19th.

Once discussed, the amended draft will be issued to all Library staff for consideration and input. Dates for the Roadshows to each of the four campuses will be released shortly.
