Library Executive Committee

On 23 April 1910, the Library Committee established the Library Executive Committee. The Executive Committee was to consist of the Chairman of the Library Committee, two members of the Library Committee elected annually by that committee and the librarian.

The first Executive Committee was faced with questions of day to day administration, for example, perusing applications for loan privileges and suspending erring students from library use, however, over time, the Committee was given responsibility for wider issues of concern.

In 1968 the Library Executive Committee reported that "matters related to the Library be the responsibility of the Professorial Board as part of its normal business...the Library Executive Committee is of the opinion that the Library Executive Committee should be abolished because it is out dated and the rules relating to it do not define its present and past functions..."(Library Executive Committee Minutes 20/12/1968)
