Minutes of the LAUC-SB Executive Committee Meeting May 14, 1998

 At LAUC-SBs request, Deputy Director Cecily Johns spoke with the Executive 

 Committee regarding vacant positions, and shared information about several

 other matters.



 LAUC-SB had expressed its desire to fill the vacant Humanities

 Librarian's

 position as a priority.  Cecily reported the Library Administration is

 being cautious about spending due to the need to keep the NOTIS system

 running for as much as a year until Acquisitions and Serials components of

 DRA Taos are operational.   There was some discussion of beginning the

 recruitment process.  Cecily asked the group to get back to her regarding

 LAUC's recommended priority for filling positions, considering the most

 recent vacancy and Carol Doyle's position.



 Cecily encouraged LAUC-SB to respond to the draft of the "Systemwide

 Libraries' Advisory Structure, 1998 - 2001," which is scheduled to be

 implemented in July.  SOPAC will continue to meet.  Cecily reported that

 while CDC, HOPS, HOTS and HOS will still exist as constituted groups,

  emphasis will be on appointing issue-oriented task forces that can

 respond in a timely fashion to expedite planning and decision making.
