These groups play a key role in moving our libraries forward and accomplishing the goals set forth in our strategic plan. I want to thank each of you who volunteered for your willingness to serve the Libraries in this additional capacity. Know that the work carried out by each of these groups and committees is vital and appreciated. Here are the committee appointments for 2015: https://library.osu.edu/document- registry/docs/397.
