TASK FORCES
Formed in July 1981, each task force is composed of a minimum of one staff member from each member institution and other members at large. These staff members are the ones responsible for and closest to the actual daily operations of their respective areas. The task force identifies any problems with automated software and other technical operating systems, works with the Operations Group to resolve any problem that can be corrected locally, compiles changes that they think necessary to improve the usefulness of the automated software and other technical operating systems, draft standards for Council consideration. Beginning in 2022 Acquisitions and Serials Taskforces were considered obsolete and will be Ad Hoc Taskforces as needed.
