March 1995 Minutes

 Minutes, LAUC Executive Board





                         March 10, 1995





Absent: L. Abrams





Announcements





1. C. Haynes will attend Spring Assembly for K. Cargille





2. The question arose as to whether to have a LAUC lunch for both


candidates for Infopath Director, since one was not a librarian.


It was decided it would be beneficial to have lunches for both.





Nomination Committee





Anne Prussing is chair of the LAUC-SD committee, and Kari Lucas


is the second member. 





CAPA Update





H. Colson reported that the review cycle is going well.  The new


guidelines appear to be working.  He will give an update at the


membership meeting.





Some discussion ensued on whether the new guidelines, which now


exist only as a memo from J. Hanson, should be codified in our


procedures.  Consensus was that it would be safest to codify the


procedures, so that new members would be aware of them and people


wouldn't forget over time.





Committees





B. Westbrook will report for R&PD at Tuesday's membership


meeting.  Cultural Diversity has no report, however they did host


a recent staff discussion on careers in librarianship which was


attended by 16 library staff members.





Division news





Irvine has an annual report each year for LAUC which includes


their objectives.  UCLA is discussing the same kinds of issues


regarding encouraging research as have been addressed here at


UCSD.  UCLA also has a librarian of the year award which we might


want to adopt.  E. Kanter will raise this at the membership


meeting.





Salary Issue





The Board reviewed the draft of a letter E. Kanter wrote to


Chancellor Atkinson on the subject of grouping non Senate


Academics with staff rather than faculty in salary issues.  G.


Lowell has written to both the Chancellor and the Vice Chancellor


(Academic Affairs) on this issue.








Video Conference Agenda Items





E. Kanter reviewed the items on the agenda for the Statewide


Executive Board Video Conference March 15.  The Board discussed a


message from C. Eckman regarding possibly establishing UC


Systemwide Web pages.  E. Kanter will send the message to the


membership.
