Sylvia Curtis distributed a draft agenda for the statewide LAUC Executive Board meeting on 2 Feb. 2000 in Oakland.

Sylvia distributed 2000-2001 charges for LAUC-SB committees:

CAP is charged: to address any local academic review procedures stemming from the new Memorandum of Understanding (MOU); to work this year to clarify criteria for confidential vs. nonconfidential letters in review packets; and to report these findings to LAUC-SB.

CAAR is charged: to review the checklist drawn up by CAAR 1999-2000 and report recommendations to LAUC-SB; to address any local academic appointment procedures stemming from the new MOU.

CPD is charged: to examine issues of base travel allocation as stated in the new MOU; to examine criteria for administrative travel; and to report these findings to LAUC-SB.

Sylvia will send these charges out to the LAUC-SB membership and to the committees.

Committee Reports

CAAR. The Middle Eastern Studies Librarian search has been reopened. The search committee membership will be the same as for the initial search, with Catherine Nelson as Chair.

Sherry DeDecker will notify the AUL for Personnel that CAAR is prepared to forward the name of its representative to serve as a participant in the planning conference that will address the vacancy created by Nerea Llamas's resignation.

Program Committee. A program planned for 16 Mar. will feature Loy Lytle, UCSB Director of Summer Sessions, who will discuss the university's plans for implementing an expanded summer session in preparation for Tidal Wave II. On 29 Jan., the committee met with Sal Guerena and the Digital Issues Committee; the two committees are planning an ongoing series of sessions on various issues pertaining to digitizing collections: in May, there will be a session on various digitization projects campuswide, and a session on intellectual property rights is being planned for fall.

Sylvia suggested a possible program on librarian demographics (the 2000-2001 theme of Cathy Palmer, LAUC President) and values of librarianship.

The LAUC-SB Executive Board commended Bev and the Program Committee for the excellent Jan. 26 program on international libraries.

CAP. No report.

CPD. No report.

Other business

In light of President Atkinson's dual admissions proposal, Sylvia raised the question of whether LAUC-SB should submit a response that would consider the proposal's impact on the library.
The UC Academic Council is seeking campus views on the issue by March.

There was discussion of the statewide LAUC Web page. Andrea Duda, LAUC Webmaster, suggests adding a "What is LAUC?" section, add an "Events" area, and make minutes easier to find.

Sylvia will schedule the next LAUC-SB membership meeting after determining when the UL is available to attend.
 

The meeting adjourned at 5:00 p.m.
