"The most important resource of the TriUniversity Group of Libraries is its staff. It is their expertise, dedication and commitment to service that have made the collaboration both possible and successful."

TUG ORGANIZATION
“Coming together is a beginning; keeping together is progress; working together is success.”
– Henry Ford

The Executive Committee of TUG includes:

• Sharon Brown, University Librarian, Wilfrid Laurier University sbrown@wlu.ca
• Mark Haslett, University Librarian, University of Waterloo mhaslett@uwaterloo.ca
• Michael Ridley, Chief Librarian, University of Guelph mridley@uoguelph.ca
• Cheryl Kieswetter, Administrative Assistant to the TUG University Librarians ckieswet@uwaterloo.ca

The TUG Executive Committee meets regularly to share information, to discuss professional trends and developments, and to promote co-operative activities that will be of benefit to the respective university communities. TUG functions through voluntary co-operation, and does not rely on a central allocation of funds or membership fees. Work is shared by Program Groups, Committees, and Functional or Departmental Collaborations.

The original TUG agreement was signed in 1995. As TUG has grown and enriched the services and resources available to our user community, the Executive Committee has recognised the importance of developing a shared understanding of our priorities and specific objectives.

TUG Priorities and Current Objectives provides guidance for the work of the three university libraries by identifying strategic priorities common to all TUG partners. The priorities and the specific objectives that follow from them inform the directions that our collaboration will take in the future.
