The meeting convened at 9:00 a.m.

Agenda

The LAUC-SB Executive Committee invited S. Pritchard to meet with them to learn about her ideas about Library issues and working with LAUC-SB.

1. Meetings with the LEC:

S. Pritchard is receptive to continue the Library Executive Committee/LAUC-SB Executive Committee meetings that have been effective in creating good communication and working relationship between librarians and the library administration. She suggested the two groups meet on a monthly basis. She would like to establish a formal structure that would have representations from librarians and staff. She envisions this group as one of the channels to bring information to the library and be involved in the planning and decision-making process in the library like computer-use policy, space problems, etc.

2. Library and the campus:

S. Pritchard suggested different ways to make us and the library more visible on campus. We need to maintain and expand communication with departments through our liaisons. Expand and improve the library newsletter both the print and the electronic formats to include new resources and library events. Sponsor more literary and library-related events. Volunteering in campus events and projects is another way to make ourselves more involved in the campus community. One suggestion is to bring back the "new book" section.

S. Pritchard mentioned there was good news from UCOP. The library building stayed on the five-year plan.

We would like to maintain our good relationship with Friends of the Library who have been one of our strong supporters. The hiring of an assistant to B.Kresin would greatly help his work in library development.

3. LAUC-SB Professional Development

S. Pritchard would look into setting aside a budget for professional development and training for the whole library.

4. Library Fellowship

S. Pritchard thinks that the program is an important one and would like to see it continue. However, she would like to know more about it and plans to talk to D. Bankhead.

5. Additional comments

S. Pritchard will appoint a committee to work on computer guidelines for the library.

Action: S. DeDecker will forward names of volunteers who responded to the LAUC-SB call for interested persons to work on this issue.

S. Pritchard would like to hear of any program ideas that we have.

The meeting adjourned at 10:00 a.m.
