Present: Ruth Gustafson, Cynthia Jahns, Elliot Kanter, Richard Lindemann, Kari Lucas, Anne Prussing (Chair), Beverly Renford, Chris Stave.

Committee Appointments

A CAPA vacancy created by the retirement of Sharon Anderson requires action. Since the bylaws are silent on this question, the board determined to call a special election. The Nominations/Election Committee will create a slate and hold elections to fill a one-year term.

All other committee vacancies were filled. A committee roster is attached to these minutes.

CAPA

A wrap-up report by last year's chair, Susan Starr, was proposed for the October 19 membership meeting. The secretary will contact her about appearing on the agenda.

Other Issues

LAUC Buddies--Executive Board members serve to welcome each new librarian and to orient that newcomer to the LAUC community, to discuss LAUC's functions, and to answer questions. A second, follow-up meeting is scheduled after a few months.

Cynthia Jahns will buddy with Beth Deahl; Ruth Gustafson will buddy with Julie Sih.

The Secretary will send welcome packets with email cover letters to each new librarian preliminary to "buddy meetings."

Further issues for membership meetings:

1. Discussion of administrative travel, to include Jerry Lowell, at October 19 membership meeting. ACTION: Anne Prussing will initiate with Jerry Lowell.
2. Recognition of VERIP retirees. ACTION: Kari Lucas will investigate memento possibilities; Anne Prussing will investigate cooperative possibilities for a Library-wide party.
3. Discussion of fund raising/membership contributions at October 19 membership meeting. ACTION: moratorium on soliciting this year's contributions until after that meeting.
4. Recognition of librarians for years of service. ACTION: tabled for future discussion.
5. Program possibility--address by Dean Stan Chodrow, who has a demonstrated interest in the relationship between libraries and academics. ACTION: tabled for future discussion about this and other program possibilities.
6. Room 506 update--the room is available for use and a key is available at the Circulation Desk, but there is still no network connection. ACTION: announcement of availability, and distribution of "use" guidelines are pending network
connectivity.
