Minutes of the LAUC-SB Executive Committee Meeting
June 5, 1998
The Committee met with EVC Donald Crawford and Dr. Ronald Tobin to address
questions regarding the status of the search for a new Library Director
and interim responsibilities. Dr. Boisse's disability status began on
June 1st; an announcement is forthcoming.
University Librarian recruitment: The Committee on Committees has
nominated faculty to serve on the Search Committee. A professor of
history will chair the committee; Bruce Tiffney will also serve; Ronald
Tobin will serve as consultant. Two LAUC members/representatives will be
appointed. EVC Crawford will soon draft the advertisement. LAUC-SB informed Dr. Crawford
of the upcoming annual ALA Annual Meeting as an
opportunity for distributing information. The Committee should
begin reviewing materials in September. In the interim, Ronald Tobin will
continue to serve as liaison to the office of the EVC and will have
final authority on any initiatives and significant issues beyond the
daily operations of the Library. LEC will continue to manage the
day-to-day affairs of the Library.
Responsibility for reviews: The Academic Personnel office has final
authority for reviews of library academic personnel.
Recruitments for EVC and Provost: Finalists for the EVC position are
currently visiting campus; a decision should be imminent. The search for
Provost will be re-activated following appointment of the EVC.
New building: Three working committees have been formed. The Library
Committee will be chaired by John Vasi. The Committee on Classrooms will
be chaired by Leal Mertes, Geography. The Committee on Research, chair
still to be appointed, will focus on learning through technology. The
overall focus of considerations at this time is the justification for
needed space. Planning for the building would be the next step. EVC
Crawford said he believed LAUC would be represented on committees.
