Joyce:
Are you referring to an committee internal to the Library or a University-Wide committee? Here at Lincoln, our shared-governance model, empowers a university-wide Library Services committee that advises the University Librarian on Library Service issues for campus. The committee is comprised of faculty, staff, students, and library representatives. I, the University Librarian, and the Provost are Ex-Officio members.
If you want to know more, I can send you our charge, etc. Also, if you want an outside opinion, Bettye Black, Langston University, visited last week and she attended our Library Services Committee meetings as a guest and she can share her opinion as well.

Since several folks asked, here are the 'functions' listed for the committee. We have a chair, 16 members (2 are students), and the Provost and I are ex-officio.
Advisory Committees
Rules and Regulations: 1.53.3
Advisory Committees
Advisory committees may be established when authorized by the president of the university. Advisory committees generally serve one of the following functions:
Assure compliance with legal requirements of federal and state mandates
Serve as the liaison between the unit providing a service and the function served
Monitor a specific on-going function such as energy utilization, recruitment, etc.
Membership on an advisory committee is by appointment made by the president. The term of appointment is for two years and appointment may be renewed. Students may, at the president's discretion, serve on an advisory committee if the function of the committee is appropriate to student concerns.
All advisory committees shall provide minutes of all meetings to the appropriate administrative officer.
Advisory committees are continuous until released. Committees may be added or committee functions modified by the president, as deemed appropriate.
Ex Officio Members
Persons serving as ex officio members of committees are designated to serve as resource persons. They are expected to contribute to the committee discussions, as may be appropriate, but may not participate in the committee's voting process.
Library Services Committee
Functions:
To serve in an advisory capacity to the University Librarian in matters concerning the overall direction of Inman E. Page Library;
To serve as a conduit through which faculty and student concerns can be relayed to the library;
To insure that the library is fulfilling its function of providing adequate service to all departments of instruction and to insure that all departments of instruction are providing the library with the input needed to acquire the library materials required to support the curriculum.
