Group Purpose

The SILS Leadership Group (SLG) reports directly to DOC and is the high-level group responsible for leading the systemwide strategic direction for the SILS - both in its current iteration and involving future platforms and integrated technologies. As well, the group actively integrates the UC Libraries plans and priorities into SILS work and strategic directions, making course corrections as needed. The SILS Leadership Group provides oversight and direction to the SILS Operations Team and ensures decisions made throughout SILS governance and operations reinforce the UC Libraries core principles, including diversity, equity, inclusion, justice and belonging, a transformative level of integration and harmonization, and a cohesive, user-centered approach to services and collections.
