Summary

This document describes a possible CLO organizational structure that will account for the new roles and responsibilities introduced by Page 1+. Existing CLO steering and standing committees are included to help situate Page 1+ within the overall picture of CLO. Updated definitions of committees and working groups are also suggested as a means of simplifying CLO’s organizational structure.

This document has been prepared for the convenience of CLO. It is intended for the CLO Executive and membership to tear into, revise and reshape to their own needs.

Definitions

Oversight bodies provide strategic direction and meet less frequently.

Committees provide operational direction over areas that require long-term and consistent guidance. Committees meet more regularly, report to oversight bodies, and assign working group activities.

Working Groups provide operational direction as an ad hock group formed around a single initiative with a project charter including objectives, deliverables and a timeline. Working groups report to committees and are only active for the duration of the project.

Oversight Bodies

CLO

Please see the College Libraries Ontario site.

CLO 20

Purpose

The CLO 20 is an oversight body providing strategic direction on Page 1+ related issues. All Page 1+ committees and working groups are accountable to the CLO 20.

Membership

This group is made up of library leadership from each participating Page 1+ Library. Each participating library will have only one representative on the CLO20.

Meetings

The group will meet three times per year. These meetings can be held as a part of regular CLO meetings, or as stand-alone separate meetings as the CLO membership prefers.

  1. One meeting will be held in the end of June (before vacations start) for pre-planning and brainstorming new initiatives, project proposals, and early budget estimates. This meeting will fall closely behind ELUNA where new product releases and enhancements will be announced to allow the group a chance to hear a report on ELUNA and new developments.

  2. A second meeting will be held the last week of September/early October (before Thanksgiving) to finalize the Page 1+ annual strategy with budget details, confirmed initiatives and project plans including identified working groups, objectives, deliverables and timelines.

  3. A third meeting will be held in January to celebrate the work of Page 1+ libraries, staff and partners.
