2001/2002 Professional Development funds
Vicki Grahame and Wanda Pittman Jazayeri from the Professional Development Committee attended.
· Library Administration requested we propose amounts using a different model from that used in previous years. John made a proposal based on that request.
· Some reasons mentioned for increased funding:
--Additional librarians.
--Increased travel expenses.
--Staff gets $700 which is more than the base for librarians.
--Coverage to now include all criteria, not just II-IV.
· Ok to distribute funds evenly if standards are met.
· Request at least same as last year, excluding the extra $5000 held over from the previous year.
--Should request more because we have more librarians (last year 51 total with 38 unit and 13 non-unit, current year 55 total with 37 unit and 18 non-unit).
· The Professional Development Committee is doing a survey to compare funding levels with other UC campuses, e.g. UC San Diego is covering membership dues.
· Conclusion: LAUC-I will respond we are not ok with the amounts.
