Minutes of the LAUC-SB Executive Committee Meeting
April 19, 2000
9:00 am
Present: Curtis, DeDecker, Hayman, Lewis, LLamas, Martorana, Pritchard
Agenda
1. Updates on committees
2. Extend invitation to a membership meeting to talk about her ideas
on criteria for advancement
3. Update on library building
4. Emeritus status
CAAR (LLamas) No updates
CAP (Hayman) CAP continues to address review procedures, checklists
and the definition of secondary supervisor/evaluator. Sarah suggested taking
a look at the guidelines of other UC campuses of a similar size.
Review Process: Janet invited Sarah to lead a discussion at a
LAUC-SB membership meeting regarding criteria for advancement. Sarah sees
two main issues:
- Promotion to full Librarian
- Promotion to Librarian V
Sherry suggested we also need an informational session about the review
process for newer librarians. Sarah suggested that librarians who have
served on several review committees should lead this discussion. Janet
will schedule a LAUC-SB meeting specifically to discuss criteria for advancement.
Library Council: Sarah stressed that this is an advisory group,
not a decision-making group. She would like to meet with LAUC-SB to clarify
the selection process for the new Library Council. Sarah said she would
also like to meet with staff supervisors. Lynne asked if she might also
meet with department heads and coordinators. Janet will schedule the next
LAUC-SB business meeting soon with this issue on the agenda.
Library Building (Sarah) The library building remains on the
last year of the 5-year plan. Lengthy discussion on how to increase support
for our new library building. We should stress that the library is a research
and faculty recruitment issue.
Emeritus Status: Janet suggested that as an encouragement to
remain active in the profession and as an acknowledgement of librarianship
as a professional career, we would like to pursue granting automatic emeritus
status to librarians upon retirement, parallel to but not equal to, the
faculty. This status will allow retired librarians to continue to serve
on committees and participate as co-investigators on grant projects. Retirees
currently receive an academic library card, CDL password and Interlibrary
Loan privileges. Sarah would like to see a proposal with criteria that
we can justify across campus. She suggested we look at what policies the
other UC campuses are following.
Sarah reminded us that the ServQual survey will begin soon.
Meeting adjourned at 10:30
