Reports from Committees
CAAR/WOM – J. Markham
WOM has several programs in planning, including a panel program on the Librarian V step to be held on Friday, February 11.
G. Colmenar reported that the search committee for the Fellow, chaired by Detrice Bankhead, met in January to work on a short list of candidates. J. Markham noted that the CAAR chair should be involved in the search process.
CAP – G. Thomas
Lucia Snowhill received the Nyholm Award in November.
G. Thomas is working on the revision of the Procedures for Appointment and Review, which currently reflect the APM instead of the MOU, with drafts and notes provided by Susan Moon, chair of CAP during the previous attempt at revision. Sherry DeDecker forwarded an email on behalf of the LAUC Committee on Professional Governance, noting that the “Helpful Tips on the Review Process” document needs to be updated as well; the present document refers to Librarian V as the highest step.
CPD – M. Gaston
The committee has gathered information on using the MOU-stipulated professional development funds for research by canvassing the statewide and local LAUC organizations. 5 of the 10 LAUC divisions have local grant programs. The committee needs to clarify with Sarah Pritchard the use of additional local funds by represented as well as non-represented librarians.
Program Committee – G. Colmenar
Previously discussed programs, i.e., speakers and a regional workshop, are still under development. The committee has prioritized setting up a date with Martin Moskovits (Dean of Mathematical, Life, and Physical Sciences). The committee is also considering a program on the AAU/ARL Global Resources Network, possibly inviting Eudora Loh from UCLA to talk.
Statewide Update
Terry Huwe issued a President’s Message by email on January 27. Initiatives include an Open Access Ad Hoc Committee (UCSB is represented by Janet Martorana and Andrea Duda), position papers, and the instructional role of librarians.
Assembly Planning Team
The McCune Conference Room has been confirmed for the Spring Assembly on June 2, with the Executive Board scheduled to meet in the Mary Cheadle Room on June 3. Use of the McCune Room is free of charge, and LAUC can bring in catering as well. Terry Huwe will be devising the agenda and has been notified that the room must be vacated by 2:30 p.m.
Responsibilities for planning were assigned:
- Website (E. Corrigan): create site, including online registration form
- Registration (M. Gaston and G. Thomas): track registration and payment; supervise registration table on the day of Assembly; name badges
- McCune Room (G. Colmenar): physical arrangements, including Internet connection and projection; field trip to check out the room?
- Food (J. Markham and WOM): E. Forte will investigate billing LAUC up front for catered lunch for delegates; other attendees will have to write check to UC Regents and be reimbursed; McCune has a kitchen and annex
- Travel, including transportation and lodging (C. Chiu): directions to UCSB from airport, train, bus, and by car; shuttle volunteers; hotels
Future membership meetings may include programs, an Assembly planning meeting, and a May meeting to discuss LAUC issues (e.g., bylaws) in advance of Spring Assembly. The meeting adjourned at 3:45 p.m.
