Seeking Volunteers: Student Library Advisory Committee

The Student Library Advisory Committee is seeking volunteers for the 2026–2027 academic year. Please submit your application via this online form by September 4. You can self-nominate or submit a nomination on behalf of someone else.

Composed of undergraduate and graduate students from across disciplines, the Student Library Advisory Committee (SLAC) provides invaluable contributions to the UT Libraries.

Members meet as a full committee approximately two to three times per semester, with opportunities to participate in special events or projects outside of meetings, as well as contributing input via online and self-paced forums. Students can choose to participate in one or more of these areas, based on their interests and availability. 

The 2025–2026 cohort revitalized a previous advisory group and developed a new vision for the Student Library Advisory Committee. They helped to develop internal communications structures for the committee to better engage, share information among members, and stay connected between meetings.

Committee members also actively contributed to library initiatives — for instance, offering ideas for in-person and online programming for a National Library Week celebration. Committee members also engaged with UT Libraries’ Dean’s Circle at the annual Hodges Society Luncheon for donors.
