The biennial Distinguished Librarian Award is in process. Next week ExComm will be reviewing and formalizing selection criteria, and the committee will be formally appointed. ExComm has begun work on a Policy and Procedures Manual. When completed, this manual should facilitate the work of the committees and members of ExComm by outlining what is expected of each committee and officeholder. The LAUC Executive Board has spent time trying to understand the new system-wide advisory structure.
Discussion continues on expanding the number of steps in the librarian series.
In addition, LAUC divisions can look at the report, formulate motions for action, or use as a background for committee charges etc. Members concerned about particular issues in the report should express their ideas. Levy will send the forms to the AULs for consideration of augmentation. LAUC-B is still awaiting the figures for its budget allocation for the year. CAPA also covered two merit reviews and one appeal from the 1997 cycle.
