  4. "Tempe principles" program from R&PD (H. Colson)
    N. Stimson, Chair of R&PD, got in touch with H. Colson to finalize a date for this program. The two viable dates are April 10 and April 17, the latter coinciding with the membership meeting. Since the program is expected to be just one hour long, it was agreed to have it on April 17, from 2-3, followed by the membership business meeting, 3-4. H. Colson will convey this to N. Stimson, as well as the possibility of having refreshments at this event and providing members with background readings in advance of the program. Harold will also discuss with R&PD the possibility of having a program in conjunction with a social sometime later in the spring.
  5. Agenda for LAUC Executive Board on Feb. 2 (H. Colson)
    H.

  6. LAUC Room & Room 722 update (H. Colson)
    After our last meeting, H. Colson spoke with M. Mogelinski regarding our concerns and they agreed to house LAUC archive materials in the old room, as our new room (722) is too small. H. Colson will coordinate with J. Elmore regarding furniture, moves, etc. Concern was expressed regarding the availability of keys to others, non-LAUC member, just for security reasons [Note: M. Mogelinski has confirmed that the keys to that room are unique]. Later, procedures will be worked out so LAUC-SD members can have ready access to the files housed in the nursing room.
  7. Librarians' meeting January 24 in the Price Center
    The announcement of a meeting with Miki Goral, Funeka Winsor and Fred Lonidier to discuss the new contract was sent to all represented librarians. B. Slater has asked F. Winsor if the meeting can be opened to ALL librarians, whether they are represented or not. She hasn't gotten a response yet but will share it as soon as she does.
