The meeting convened at 3:30 p.m.

Minutes from the Executive Committee meeting on 5 May were approved with corrections and will be posted to the Web. Emendations were suggested for the minutes from the 14 May meeting. Eunice will incorporate them and send the revised minutes to the committee for comment.

There was discussion of the Senate Library Committee's letter of 4 May to Judson King regarding funding for library capital projects. The letter was penned by Sarah Cline and sent by her to UCOL for submission to the Academic Council and ultimately to Provost King.

The next topic of discussion was the Academic Senate Task Force on General Education, whose chair, Muriel Zimmerman, presented a report to the Faculty Legislature at its most recent meeting (31 May). It was decided that Zimmerman be invited to meet with LAUC-SB so that the membership can learn more about the activities of the task force and discuss issues regarding information literacy, library instruction, and general education.

Also discussed was the issue of librarian representation in the new Senate structure as currently being studied by the Task Force on Academic Senate Reorganization. The productive contributions of librarians on the various senate committees in past years were reviewed so that these examples might be put before the Senate Library Committee on Thursday (6/7) as justification for a continued librarian role in the new structure.

The next topic raised was non-Senate Academic Representatives. Of the six slots for next year, two are currently listed as TBA. Sylvia will contact Claudia Chapman to ascertain the present status of these slots.

The meeting adjourned at 4:45 p.m.
