ANNOUNCEMENTS





1. Karen reported on the statewide LAUC Executive Board meeting


held December 8, 1995:


     *  Gary Peete will meet with the chair of the Library


Council (ULs of UC), Joanne Euster, to discuss the possibility of


the statewide LAUC Executive Board meeting with that group.     


     * The Office of the President is conducting a salary study,


comparing said of UC librarians with their counterparts in the


CSU system and eight other institutions. This is in conjunction


with the salary bifurcation issue. A report will be distributed


to the UC Vice Chancellors and to LAUC.


     * Myron Okada, Director of Academic Personnel (UCOP),


assured the group that the bifurcation proposal was not a threat


to librarians' academic status. He explained that it is an


attempt to achieve parity for UC faculty with their colleagues at


comparable institutions. He feels the bifurcation would be


temporary (2-3 years perhaps) and would be dismantled when parity


is reached for the faculty.


     Okada also noted that there is a faculty referendum to


recall the Regents' anti-affirmative action decision. The


decision went into effect 1/1/96 for business contracts and will


go into effect for admissions in 1997.


     * Regent Ward Connerly will present the governor with the


domestic partner agreement.


     * LAUC's spring assembly will be one day, Tuesday, May 14,


1996 at UC Irvine.


     * The group voted 5-4 to centralize LAUC archives. The


archives committee will continue to meet and discuss the


development of electronic archives.


     *  Actual ballots for elections will remain in paper form


but can be printed from an electronic template. Electronic voting


is an issue still in discussion.





2. Joanne announced the Research and Development Committee will


be presenting two PBS videoconferences on educational technology:


     * January 25, 1996 (noon to 1:30 pm) - Educational


          Technology, What's new and how to use it.


     * February 1, 1996 (11 am to 1 pm) - Educational Technology,


          Funding.


Both will be held in the Seuss Room.





3. Elizabeth announced the Cultural Diversity Committee will


present a program "The Philosophy of Cultural Diversity" with


UCSD Medical Center Diversity Coordinator Angeline McGill-King as


speaker. The program will be held January 31, 1996, 2 to 4 pm,


Seuss Room.





BUSINESS





1. Status of replacing CAPA Member. Karen indicated there had


been four volunteers: Susan Jurist, Alice Perez, Karen Lindvall-


Larson, and Tammy Dearie. Neither Duffy Tweedy nor Becky Ringler


(on ballot for CAPA last election) volunteered again. Elliot and


Karen will propose the slate above at the membership meeting


January 16, 1996 and open the floor for other methods of filling


the vacancy. CAPA will delay its meetings until the seat is


filled.





2. LAUC Archives recommendations. Karen and Brad will present to


the membership the two issues at hand -- (1) what to do with the


paper-based archives now in-house and (2) how to handle materials


from this point on. The membership will be solicited for ideas.





3. Research and Professional Development grant guidelines. The


group went through the draft revision presented by Joanne, making


suggestions for changes. The R&PD Committee will further revise


the guidelines and bring the final version to the ExeBd for


approval.


     Jerry will meet with R&PD to discuss the future of libraries


seminar series.





4. Assignments for ExeBd members to review minutes of other LAUC
