Agenda

1. Updates on committees

3. Update on library building
4. Emeritus status

CAAR (LLamas) No updates

CAP (Hayman) CAP continues to address review procedures, checklists and the definition of secondary supervisor/evaluator. Sarah suggested taking a look at the guidelines of other UC campuses of a similar size.

Review Process: Janet invited Sarah to lead a discussion at a LAUC-SB membership meeting regarding criteria for advancement. Sarah sees two main issues:

• Promotion to full Librarian
• Promotion to Librarian V

Library Council: Sarah stressed that this is an advisory group, not a decision-making group. She would like to meet with LAUC-SB to clarify the selection process for the new Library Council. Sarah said she would also like to meet with staff supervisors. Lynne asked if she might also meet with department heads and coordinators. Janet will schedule the next LAUC-SB business meeting soon with this issue on the agenda.

Library Building (Sarah) The library building remains on the last year of the 5-year plan. Lengthy discussion on how to increase support for our new library building. We should stress that the library is a research and faculty recruitment issue.

Emeritus Status: Janet suggested that as an encouragement to remain active in the profession and as an acknowledgement of librarianship as a professional career, we would like to pursue granting automatic emeritus status to librarians upon retirement, parallel to but not equal to, the faculty. This status will allow retired librarians to continue to serve on committees and participate as co-investigators on grant projects. Retirees currently receive an academic library card, CDL password and Interlibrary Loan privileges. Sarah would like to see a proposal with criteria that we can justify across campus. She suggested we look at what policies the other UC campuses are following.

Sarah reminded us that the ServQual survey will begin soon.
