September 1997 Minutes

LAUC-SD Executive Board Meeting Minutes



September 2, 1997; 3:30pm



Special Collections Seminar Room







Attending:  Karen Cargille, Lynda Claassen, Trisha Cruse, Tammy Dearie, Barbara



Slater, Reinhart Sonnenberg, Kathy Whitley







1.  Report on LAUC State Transition Meeting



Statewide board meeting will be in October, the Fall Assembly will be November



21.  The Spring Assembly will be hosted by UCSD -- we will be primarily



responsible for logistics and requests for volunteers will be forthcoming.







California Millenium Conference was announced -- it will be sponsored by CLA and



there will be a LAUC presence at the conference, to be held March 1999.



Attendance will be on an invitation basis for the 2.5-day event, with each



sponsoring library association receiving a number of slots.







Cultural Diversity Committee -- over the last year there has been a "malaise" in



the group.  A status report was given, mainly addressing points from the "Many



Voices" document.  Esteban Valdez will be the local "conduit" for information



from the statewide group as well as the statewide chair.  Charges for the group



will be developed between now and the October statewide board meeting.  See



agenda development for local plans.







The salaries letter to President Atkinson has not yet been sent by Miki Goral.



There is no action on the step additions and no action on the librarian salaries



schedule.  LAUC will be included on a UCOP Web page.  The LAUC listserv email



list has been cancelled.







Myron Okada arrived late and was able to discuss the stipends issue only



briefly.  The stipends document was approved, but librarians were not included



as a group.  This means that any campus with approved local guidelines could



give stipends because the stipends are derived from campus monies.  Los Angeles,



Santa Barbara, and Riverside have guidelines already submitted, and Davis and



Berkeley are working on guidelines.







2.  Agenda building for Sept. 9 membership meeting







CAPA - Tammy will have a CAPA report including a couple of discussion items.







Cultural Diversity Committee -- although Esteban will not be here for the Sept.



9 meeting, he felt comfortable with our having a discussion since other



committee members would be there.  Linda will pose the question of what to do



with the committee.   Volunteers may be called for as a result of discussion.



She will announce Esteban's name as the "conduit."  Perhaps the membership will



be interested in having some local programs, for example.  Karen will email the



current committee members to alert them about the agenda point.







Stipends issue -- The question seems begged for UCSD to discuss.  Karen will



send LAUC-B's memo to the membership as background.







Brainstorming session -- schedule this point to get input about expectations of



membership for LAUC role and activities.







Announce a Fall social for the first Friday in October (10/3/97) at the Faculty



Club.







Karen will send out agenda along with the date for the social.
