Progress on the ULC website was reviewed. A major emphasis of the website is to inform and educate faculty on matters pertaining to scholarly communications and copyright. Once the committee approves the content, links will need to be established so that people can find it. Methods of publicizing the site include distribution to the Academic Senate and to department chairs as well as a University Libraries Newsletter article. Add committee charge to website.

Newcomb pointed out that electronic subscriptions by the libraries are saving money for academic departments. He has personally experienced this in his work. The libraries might be able to partner with academic departments to share costs.
