APPENDIX C --- Michigan Council of Federal Depository Libraries

The Michigan Council of Federal Depository Libraries is responsible for implementing, monitoring and amending the plan. Its role will include, but not be limited to, the following:

Membership: The Council shall consist of an odd number of voting members, who must be employed at Michigan federal depository libraries. Permanent seats are reserved for representatives of the regional depository libraries of the state. The number of elected seats to be filled by selective depository libraries shall be equal to the number of regional depository seats, plus one. The State Librarian, acting on behalf of the Library of Michigan Board of Trustees, will supervise the nomination and election of the elected members to the council. Representatives shall be drawn from and provide for broad geographic and library type coverage. Elections are normally held in August. Voting is by ballot sent to all library directors who are signatories to the Plan. Terms begin in January and are equal in years to the number of elected seats on the Council. Elected members will be eligible for consecutive terms. If a member misses three consecutive meetings, the council will determine whether a vacancy exists. Vacancies may be filled by special election or special appointment as supervised by the State Librarian. The Government Documents Roundtable of Michigan (GODORT) will select a representative to serve a three-year term as non-voting liaison between GODORT and the Council. The Council may ask other librarians to serve on special committees or as liaisons, remembering to include representatives from the non-depository community when possible.  The State Librarian may appoint additional non-voting liaisons, particularly from the non-depository community or from under-represented portions of the depository community.

Meetings: The Council will meet at least once a year and will sponsor a general meeting in odd numbered years and geographic area meetings (meetings identical in content held in various locations around the state) in even numbered years. All meetings of the Council will be open to interested depository and non-depository library staff.
