Student Library Advisory Committee
SLAC objective
The Student Library Advisory Committee (SLAC), along with the Media Technology Advisory Committee (MTAC), will work to support and enhance the DRMS Library Learning Commons services by addressing student needs and concerns. SLAC members will represent the student body, serving as library ambassadors to the DRMS community, aiming to increase student use of the library learning commons. Through constructive feedback, they will help shape library policies, services, and collections.
