The function of the Library Council is to represent the faculty, students, and other interested members of the University community in advising the Chancellor and Dean of Libraries concerning improvements in the operation and effective utilization of the Williams Library and its branches. The structure of this committee encourages the establishment of school- or college-wide library committees whose representatives would serve on this Library Council.
