Rosemary reported on the statewide LAUC transition meeting held August 14.



1.  The Fall Assembly will be Nov. 21 at Davis. A panel is planned to discuss

patterns of scholarly publishing.



2.  A California Millennium conference is being planned for 1999.  This

conference would involve librarians from all types of libraries in

California.  Lucia Snowhill has been attending the meetings for this group

and will report soon on LAUC's participation.



3. A statewide LAUC webpage is being discussed. Miki reported that she

will talk with Gary Lawrence about it.  She has received several names

from LAUC divisions of individuals who have volunteered to assist with the

design of the webpage.



4. Myron Okada and Peter Chester discussed several matters with

the LAUC Executive Board:



a. Stipends - This proposal is in final review.  Okada stated that

stipends parallels the greater flexibility of block grants being given to

each campus, i.e., the chancellors on each campus would develop local

guidelines for the administration of the stipends.  The state is no longer

mandating guidelines; flexibility is being given to the campuses.



b. Adding steps to librarian series - Okada reported that there was no

consensus across the system.  He mentioned that the ULs were supportive of

the addition.



c. Salary survey - Okada reported that the older survey (1995?) was not

being supplemented.  No salary surveys are underway. (Miki Goral stated

that she had still not sent the letter to President Atkinson on the subject

of salaries written by Gary Peete approximately a year ago.  She did not

indicate future action on this matter.)



1996-97 LAUC-SB reports will appear on the LAUC-SB web pages as soon as

they are received.



 LAUC-SB vice chair and chair of the program committee, Sherry Dedecker,

announced that Xavier Lopez will be here to discuss organizational design

issues and digital libraries in September.  It was suggested that a

committee be formed to work with the vice chair on the LAUC-SB conference.



In coming chair Patrick Dawson will be the LAUC representative to HOPS.



The 1997-98 LAUC-SB Executive Board will assume office September 1:

Patrick Dawson, Chair

Sherry DeDecker, Vice Chair and Chair of Program Committee

Lynne Hayman, Secretary

Carol Gibbens, Chair of CAP

Janet Martorana, Chair of CAAR
