Minutes of the LAUC-SB Executive Committee Meeting
March 17, 2004
1. Minutes
The minutes of the previous LAUC-SB Executive Committee
meeting were amended and approved.
2. LAUC –SB Travel Documents (Jane Faulkner)
Suggestions and further amendments were incorporated
and links to the reimbursements policies were added. An added statement, to
appear as a preamble will stipulate that professional development funds can
also be used for research as well as travel. A Word template was needed for
the travel request form and Sal will arrange to have that created for Jane.
3. System-wide LAUC travel (Cathy Chiu)
If travelers have not received their reimbursement after 1 ½ months travelers
should contact Mary Kohler to follow up. System-wide travel reimbursements are
processed out of the UCLA Travel Center. Reimbursement checks can only be mailed
to your home or to a Post Office box.
4. Information Literacy Follow-up (Cathy Chiu)
LAUC President Linda Kennedy has written to the ULs’
Group and to UCOL to express LAUC’s interest in being continually involved in
developing information literacy programs in UC. Linda Kennedy asked the ULs
to appoint a LAUC representative to serve in the HOPS Information Literacy Common
Interest Group. She also inquired UCOL about campus’ reactions and follow up
to UCOL’s IL resolution.
5. CPG Reports – Peer
Review Reports for all UC Campuses (Cathy Chiu)
The LAUC Committee on Professional Governance compiled
responses to questions about the peer review process on the different campuses.
A report was issued as well as a summary document. It shows the procedure at
each campus, especially indicating who is the final decision maker and what
information the peer review committee (CAP or CAPA) provides to the LAUC membership
after completing the review. Linda Kennedy has stated that each campus can review
the documents and decide how to make use of the information and if there is
any further action needed to be taken by CPG. No further actions were proposed
at the LAUC Executive Committee conference call. LAUC may not have the authority
to standardize the process across campuses. Each division can review the survey
and address any problems existing at that campus. CAP will look into what more
detailed statistical information should be given to the membership.
6.
Library Strategic Plan
Cathy Chiu wrote to Sarah Pritchard stating LAUC’s past contribution to the
library strategic plan or vision statement and expressing LAUC’s interest in
continuing involvement. Sarah’s reply is that LAUC will continue to be involved
as a stakeholder as well as an advisory body in the process. Cathy Chiu suggested
that we wait and see how Marilyn Moody wants to proceed. If there is a need
for a formal LAUC input, a general membership meeting will be called to discuss
it.
