CAPA Report (C. Haynes)

C. Haynes provided us with a summary of the CAPA year, in terms of when files were turned in, ad hoc committees appointed, etc. CAPA is currently conducting a survey of the review process.

The group asked for clarification on some issues and potential topics for the debriefing with LHR and Cabinet were discussed, such as: Whether or not SDM and Principles of Community language be included in the ARPM, delays in appointments of Ad Hoc committees, lateness of review letters and how that affects the review process as a whole.

It was noted that Ad Hoc chairs should be notified by LHR of the outcome of their work. C. Haynes will remind LHR. It was also pointed out that it would be nice to notify the membership of the outcomes of this review cycle, such as advancements, promotions, etc. C. Haynes will ask B. Schottlaender to send an e-mail message to LAUC-SD.

CAPA will deliver its annual report the first membership meeting.

Report from meeting with Brian (H. Colson, B. Slater, and J. Reiswig)

Brian likes these meetings and would like to continue with them next year. LAUC-SD thanked him for his cooperation and attendance at meetings. Discussion items included:

  • Fall session to recruit students and staff into the librarian profession
  • B. Slater raised the issue of building leaders from within our ranks, as upper level managers retire throughout the profession and what implications/potential that has locally. There is a need for leadership development and LAUC-SD can play a role in that.
  • Placement of goals in the review process: Brian strongly supports goals being part of the formal review process. [This last point resulted in a discussion during the meeting of the need of a strategic plan/goals for the UCSD Libraries and noted as a topic for a future membership meeting.]

No updates as some of the parties involved have been out.

R&PD request regarding LAUC-SD Web calendar (H. Colson)
