The University Librarian and members of the Library’s Executive Group are also members of the Council. Term: three years for faculty members, one year for President of Libraries' Assembly, one year for Duke Student Government Vice President for Academic Affairs, and one year for representatives from the Graduate and Professional Student Government.
