From: Stephen MacLeod <smacleod@lib.uci.edu>
To: Deborah A Murphy <damurphy@cats.UCSC.EDU>

Debbie -- The LAUC-I Exec Board met last Thursday. We had the following questions and suggestions for you to possibly
consider for the agenda for the LAUC Exec Board meeting on November 15th:

1. Will LAUC consider follow-up actions to the 11/17/00 Fall Assembly discussion related to the Stanley Wilder video
Generational Change in Librarianship? There are several possible outcomes that might be supported systemwide:

Acknowledging the two major "library schools" at UCLA and UCB , could we encourage and support library assistants
employed in our libraries attending those schools and completing degrees in those programs?
Could we further encourage them by guaranteeing a professional position in the UC system upon graduation?
Could we provide material support for more internships?
Could we clarify current resources available for our library assistants to pursue an MLS?

These are many other possible outcomes that could be facilitated systemwide. LAUC could act to develop policies and
procedures, and resources in support of those outcomes.

2. UC Systemwide Information Literacy Program Development:

Could LAUC encourage and facilitate a systemwide effort to develop information literacy standards within the University
of California, similar to what the CSU system has done via the CSU Information Competence Project -
