Discussion about LAUC-Executive's meeting with EVC Ilene Nagel.


We should not discuss the $600,000.00 that the chancellor is holding back


for the new University Librarian at this point.

administrative authority in the library.








2.  Available funds for library technology projects:





Ron Tobin announced to staff that $350,000.00 was coming to the library for 


technology.  He would like to use the money to create an electronic kiosk 


or a video tour of the library. LAUC-Executive should meet with Ron Tobin & 


the Library Executive Committee about this money & discuss consideration of 


LAUC's proposal from last year, in which librarians compiled a list of 


technology needs.





LAUC-Exec should also pursue establishing a meeting with the Library 


Executive Committee on a regular basis.








Action: Sherry will send a message to LEC & R. Tobin requesting for 


such meeting.

appointing a LAUC member to the committee. The board suggested changes to 


the letter.





Action: J. Martorana and S. DeDecker will redraft the letter & ask John Vasi
