LAUC-SB Executive Committee
Transition Meeting
September 27, 1995


Present: Yolanda Allen, Patrick Dawson, Andrea Duda, Adan Griego, Sal 
Guerena, Catherine Nelson, Rosemary Meszaros, Beverly Ryan, Lucia 
Snowhill.

1.  Committee annual reports overview,  questions and comments.

CAP
Next years committee will need to continue to work on the following  issues:
	1. Obtaining clarification from Academic Personnel on  grievance 
procedures. This years committee submitted recommendations to L. 
Snowhill.
	2. Creating an index of subjects and topics contained in the peer 
review procedural manual. 
	3. Developing a glossary that defines the structure of the hierarchy in 
the  review process such as definitions of initiator, primary evaluator, 
secondary evaluator, etc. This will help to circumvent problems and 
misinterpretations. (This will be helpful not only for the membership but also 
provide guidance for the confidential peer review committee members )

The incoming committee will work to have the index and glossary available 
by next November.  Feedback from the membership and the administration 
will be required before it is finalized.

R. Meszaros suggested that we schedule a program in the fall in which  D. 
Bankhead can provide information that will clear up any discrepancies and 
ambiguities. Also, it was suggested to have a panel discussion on the review 
process.

Helpful tips on the review process are located on the L drive.

CAAR
A. Griego reported that there is no additional information to add to the last 
report distributed via email. Interviews for the Documents Reference 
librarian will take place in October. The search for a Head of Technical 
Services has been delayed indefinitely.

S. Guerena suggested that it would be helpful if previous committee chairs 
passed information on to the next chair, for example: what to expect, 
timeframes, tasks, processes. This would be particularly important for CAP. 
After discussion it was agreed that chairs should keep notes, lists, etc. To 
pass on to the next committee chair.

CPD
P. Dawson reported that the schedule for calls for research proposals will be 
changed to better fit the quarter schedule that most UCs operate on. It is 
now based on a semester schedule.

Travel funding could be a problem in 1996-97 when there will be 3 ALA 
conferences in one fiscal year due to the 1996 conference scheduled for July. 
Transferring $100 over to next year will be considered.

Program Committee
R. Meszaros reported that there will be another spring conference, probably 
in May. It is not yet planned, but will probably have a web related theme.
The Copyright Teleconference was attended by about 20 librarians and staff.
There will be a program on the review process this fall, not yet scheduled.

Statewide issues
Lucia reported the LAUC may work on, or help with, assembling salary 
comparison information and a list of comparable institutions.

Other
Increasing workloads were discussed next including the following issues:
	more to do with less people
	librarians taking on more and more
	highest student per librarian ratio in UC
CAAR will create an ad hoc committee to develop a survey in order to get an 
objective measure of workload increases.

Andrea will be announcing Committee membership, and will place annual 
reports on Infosurf under Wired Librarian.

 Future meetings are not yet scheduled.
