LAUC-SB Travel Funding Guidelines for 1997-1998

Funds available for LAUC-SB professional activities for 1997-1998 are $600 per librarian. This is based on the standard $300 per unit member, plus a UCSB Library supplement of $5000 and a one-time $3000 supplement from conference profits.

These funds may be used as follows:

1. Conference Registration: Meeting announcement and registration receipt required.
2. Travel (Includes air/train fare, personal car mileage, parking): Receipts required, except for mileage.
3. Per Diem: Granted only if you are a conference officer, presenting a paper or making another presentation, serving on a panel, or chairing or attending a committee meeting. You may claim per diem days for those days you are involved in qualifying activities, as well as inclusive days between such activity days. Per diem funding is for hotels and meals. Hotel receipts are required for per diem payments. Up to $37 per day may be granted for meals without receipts.
Note that this represents a change from previous policies, which designated a maximum of $300 for travel and registration, the rest only for per diems, with a maximum of 3 per diems per librarian.

In summary: With proper justification and receipts, you may be granted up to $600 for professional activities, which you may divide up among registration, travel and per diems as you wish, but when you have used $600, any further activities will be out of pocket.

Ground Transportation

Ground Transportation Travel/Conference funds for LAUC-SB travel are granted based on requests made by the traveler before the travel has taken place, as long as funds are still available for that traveler. The total amount granted cannot exceed the total amount requested. A legitimate part of travel is ground transportation, for which the cost is usually not known in advance. Some travel applications have added a ground transportation line, but left the amount blank, to be filled in later. This will not be allowed any more. Those expecting to submit receipts for ground transportation should provide an estimate of cost in advance, to assist calculation of the total to be granted. If the estimate proves too high, this can be adjusted later, but if the estimate is too low, no adjustments will be made. If no figure is estimated, no funds will be granted for ground travel.
