Present: Larry Heiman (recorder), Judy Horn, Pauline Manaka, Steve MacLeod (chair), John Sisson.

1. Nominations/Elections Committee and Elections Calendar.

· Steve distributed the "LAUC Election Calendar 2002".
· John distributed his draft of the "LAUC/LAUC-I Election Calendar 2002". He will send out calendar and call for nominations later today. Steve will have it posted on the LAUC-I Web site.
· The full slate will be presented at the General Membership meeting on May 13.
· The nominating committee consists of John Sisson (chair), Stephanie Davis-Kahl, Susan Jackson, and April Love.
· In related news, Steve was notified by Marjorie Mullen of the Office of the Academic Senate that the Senate Parking Oversight Committee is becoming active again and will be meeting soon. Tim Tift of the Dept. of Education is the current chair. LAUC-I can have representation. John volunteered to attend its next meeting. The ExBd may issue a call later for a permanent appointee.

2. Call for Library Council Meeting Agendas - Process.

· Steve wants to remind people to pay attention to the LC calls for agenda and the announced LC agendas. They should give input to their department heads and also the LAUC-I chair if there are issues that should have LAUC-I input. Pauline said the ExBd should discuss items to be presented as LAUC issues to LC, through email if necessary.
· It is important to get LAUC-I views on agenda items for ExBd meetings with Gerry and the AULs. The agenda will be posted early enough to get General Membership input.

3. Inviting Patty Iannuzzi to UCI.

· Steve talked to Cathy Palmer and Carol Ann Hughes about inviting Patty Iannuzzi to UCI to speak on Information Literacy. Hughes wants UCI to lead a system-wide effort on IL. She and Palmer will be meeting with Iannuzzi soon to strategize. We will still go ahead and invite her to UCI to give talk on how the IL standards were developed and how they are being implemented at other campuses. Cathy and/or Carol Ann will be asked to give their vision of IL at UCI and what they have been doing or are planning. The goal is to raise awareness on this campus and make the standards meaningful to everyone. The program will be open to all library staff. Steve will contact Iannuzzi after the LAUC spring assembly and schedule for sometime after ALA. LAUC-I will cover Iannuzzi's expenses.
· Information Literacy will be a topic at the LAUC spring assembly to be held May 3 at UCLA. Maybe there will be an indication of what LAUC expects of individual campuses on IL. Steve, Pauline, and Joan Ariel will be representing LAUC-I.

4. Revision of Academic Personnel Procedures.

· Judy Kaufman issued "Changes Proposed by the AUL, Administrative Services to the Academic Personnel Procedures for Librarians" on April 26, asking for comments by May 20th. She will then produce a revised Academic Personnel Procedures for Librarians and distribute by June 1st. At the July 8th General Membership meeting, LAUC-I will review, provide input, and make recommendations. A final revision is planned by August 1st. The UL has final approval authority. This review is intended to become an annual process.
· Discussion of the proposals focused on "substantive changes" 7 & 8 and the requirements of ad hocs. Change 7 will no longer require an ad hoc "when RI recommends accelerated actions. Currently an ad hoc is required if the LRC is not unanimously in agreement with the accelerated action." Change 8 will no longer require an ad hoc when RI recommends for career status or promotion "if the LRC is unanimous, even if it is unanimously in disagreement with the RI's recommendation". Horn explained these were suggestions made by the LRC, which felt ad hocs were unnecessary when the LRC was unanimous in its recommendation.

5. Other Issues.

Update on the Report of the AdHoc Committee to Evaluate Professional Development Funding Process.
· Steve met with Vicki Grahame, AdHoc chair, and Judy Kaufman on what to do next. The PDC will take the first three of the six recommendations and prepare written guidelines on their implementation. They will send to Steve by May 23. The ExBd will review at their May 28 meeting. This will then be taken to the General Membership June 10 meeting for a vote.

Diversity.
· Pauline reported on the LAUC Committee on Diversity. Its Web site is http://library.ucsc.edu/techserv/diversity/. She reported on how the various UC diversity committees are organized. UCSD has a LAUC committee, UCI has an inactive LAUC committee and an active library wide committee, UCR has a committee, and UCSF has a representative on the statewide committee, but no local committee. Everyone else has very active library wide committees. Berkeley has 3 librarians on its committee; each eventually becomes chair and rep to the statewide committee.
· Pauline will send the ExBd a Web site address for a faculty best practices model on diversity.
· Steve has met with the UCI Diversity Team about having a LAUC-I representative on the team. The LAUC-I diversity committee has been inactive the last few years. Its formal disbandment would require a change in the By-laws.

LAUC-I By-laws.
· Judy Horn is about half way through her review of the LAUC-I By-laws. She hopes to be finished by end of 2001-2002 academic calendar.
