LAUC-Santa Barbara Program Meeting
February 18, 1999, 10 a.m.

Ilene Nagel, Executive Vice Chancellor, met with the librarians.  We


welcomed her to UCSB, and each librarian explained what their areas of


responsibility were.


	


	I. Nagel told the group she was very pleased that Sarah Pritchard


accepted the position of University Librarian, and that she looked forward


to working with her.  She has appointed Sarah to the Academic Affairs


Advisory Committee; Sarah will also be on the Information Technology


Board.


	She also said that she supports the idea of a new library


building, but the final decision also has to take into account


other needs on campus, such as buildings that need seismic retrofitting.


She mentioned that Bruce Tiffney, Chair of the Senate Library Committee,


made an impassioned presentation to the Academic Senate


on behalf of the Library and its need for a new building. She has asked


him to work with her on other campus projects, but he declined because of


his commitment to the Library.


	She was very interested in the role of librarians in campus


instruction, and mentioned the possibility of more active librarian


participation in academic classes.  We explained the teaching roles that


librarians now have, and told her we would be very interested in having a


more proactive role in campus instructional planning.








The meeting adjourned at 11 a.m.
