BUSINESS





1. Nominating Committee report - Elliot indicated that four


people have volunteered to run for CAPA seats, one for Vice


Chair. Karen will make an announcement after the elections for


volunteers for the Webmaster position and the Archives Task


Force.





2. Career Day - There are eight volunteers for this event, three


from Biomed. Karen will select the first five received.





3. Email policy - The group briefly discussed UC's email policy


and noticed nothing to be concerned about. Karen will ask for


further comments at the membership meeting.





4. Distance Learning Task Force - Karen will double check with


Reinhart (our representative to the group) on their mission and


what the campuses should be doing. Another representative


{Firestein?} of the group will be present at the Assembly to


contact as well.





5. Substitute librarians - The statewide Committee on


Professional Governance drafted a policy for establishing a pool


of possible candidates (e.g. retired librarians) to fill short-

librarians working on LAUC research grants.
