1. CALL TO ORDER

Meeting was called to order at 2:15.

2. SECRETARY’S REPORT

Minutes from October 8, 2002 were approved.

3. CHAIR’S REPORT

1. LAUC Statewide Executive Board Meeting

Michael Oppenheim shared the following highlights from the Board’s November 1 meeting (by conference call): Esther Grassian reported that she is having success enhancing LAUC’s relationship with the University Librarians. The LAUC President and Vice-President expect to be regularly attending UL meetings, and they hope to include the UL’s in LAUC Statewide Assemblies on a regular basis.

2. Adcon Meetings to date with UL Candidates

The meetings were well attended, as were the public presentations. The Board discussed general impressions of the first two candidates; the third had not yet interviewed.

4. OLD BUSINESS

1. LAUC-LA Fall Membership Meeting

Chuck Wilson will make an announcement on behalf of the Research & Professional Development Committee asking for more mini-grant proposals. Alison Bunting won’t be able to attend the meeting. The Program Committee has sent out invitations to the new librarians. Michael Oppenheim will introduce the new local Executive Board and LAUC statewide committee members. Michael will ask Eleanor Mitchell if she can speak about the UL search, and he will also ask Pat Hawthorne if she would be able to speak, as it was not possible to introduce her “formally” to LAUC-LA at the Membership Meeting last Spring, making her still relatively “new.” Other potential topics include items on the Statewide agenda, the “Distinguished Step” survey, and the SOPAG Access Integration Model.

5. ADJOURNMENT

The meeting was adjourned at 3:20 p.m.

Respectfully submitted,

Beth Feinberg

LAUC-LA Secretary
