Evaluation of applicants for the postion of Library Director
The ten applications received to date were discussed. Each applicant was evaluated based
on their professional merits. Applicants were individually scored by each committee member
on a scale of 1 through 4, with 4 being the highest rating. Those applicants who achieved a
rating of 4 or high 3 were considered deserving of being interviewed. Joanne Panunzio will
invite those applicants to come for an interview.
Discussion of subsequent meeting dates
The committee then discussed February dates and times for when we all would be free to
attend an interview. These dates will be offered to the candidates.
It was agreed that January 27th at 7pm would be the search committee's meeting to formulate
questions for the applicants.
The meeting was adjourned at 8:10pm
