The following specific charges reflect the ideas, issues, and

a baseline from which the LAUC President may take further action,

social diversity) as they pertain to everyday duties and
responsibilities of librarians, library staff, and library student
employees.
2) In fulfillment of standing charge a) and in an effort to establish
a baseline from which the LAUC President may take further action,
monitor and report to the LAUC President and the Executive Board
on University libraries bibliographic instruction programs, classes,
workshops, and outreach initiatives that 1) reach cultural, ethnic,
racial, and social groups on campuses and 2) include examples
from
different cultural, ethnic, racial, and social groups in teaching
sessions and printed material.
3) In fulfillment of standing charge c), and to establish a baseline
from which the LAUC President may take further action, monitor
and
report to the President and the Executive Board on University
libraries adoption and method of implementation of "Principles
of
Community" type policies.
The Committee's recommendations should be submitted to the LAUC
Executive Board for review at any of the scheduled Executive Board
meetings on October 23, December 10 (Pre-Fall Assembly), March
