The Library SEPC (Student Educational Policy Committee) is a student/library liaison group that provides the Libraries with student input on quality of library services, performance and hiring of librarians, and other important issues. SEPC works with a group of librarians and library staff as part of a Student Outreach Committee that provides advice and suggestions to the Libraries regarding services, collections, events, facilities, library promotion, and other issues. The SEPC also helps organize the Libraries' finals-week study breaks, surveys students and summarizes their opinions regarding the professional performance of librarians during contract reviews, and participates in interviews of candidates for librarian positions.

The Library SEPC includes:

• 4 library student employees, elected at the beginning of the fall semester by all the current library student employees;

• 1 student appointed early in the fall term by SGA;

• 2 students elected early in the fall term by the representatives of the residential clusters (Joint Board) (each representing a different cluster).
