     RE:  Charge to the Committee on Committees, Rules and Jurisdiction
     
     Thank you for agreeing to serve on the Committee on Committees, Rules 
     and Jurisdiction.  This committee faces an exciting year as the result 
     of the implementation of Systemwide Library Planning: Systemwide 
     Library and Scholarly Information Advisory Committee (SLASIAC) and the 
     University Librarians Advisory Structure that includes the Systemwide 
     Operating and Planning Advisory Group (SOPAG) that essentially replace 
     Library Council.
     
     The LAUC Bylaws call for the members on each standing committee to be 
     appointed by the LAUC President to serve two-year staggered terms, and 
     for the divisions to be alphabetically divided into two groups, with 
     divisions in one of the two groups having new members appointed each 
     year. 
     
     This year the Committee members from Riverside, San Diego, San 
     Francisco, Santa Barbara, and Santa Cruz terms end September 30, 2000. 
     The terms of the continuing members from Berkeley, Davis, Irvine, and 
     Los Angeles end September 30, 1999.  
     
     To ensure continuity, a chair designate, who will serve as Chair in 
     1999/00, will be appointed within the next few months.
     
     As specified in the Bylaws (Article VIII, Section 1.J.1), the standing 
     charge to the Committee on Committees, Rules and Jurisdiction is the 
     following: 
     
     a) Review annually, or at the special request of the LAUC President, 
     the LAUC Bylaws and submit recommendations to the LAUC President. 
     
     b) Review the Divisions' Bylaws to assure that they are consistent 
     with the LAUC Bylaws. (See Article VI, Section 2.d.)
     
     c) Address other subjects at the request of the LAUC President and 
     consider and develop recommendations upon matters concerning LAUC's 
     committees, rules and jurisdiction. 
     
     In support of the committee standing charge,
     
     1) Review and recommend to the President and the Executive Board 
     changes to the Bylaws in light of the implementation on July 1, 1998 
     of the Systemwide Library Planning: Systemwide Library and Scholarly 
     Information Advisory Committee (SLASIAC) and the University Librarians 
     Advisory Structure that includes the Systemwide Operating and Planning 
     Advisory Group (SOPAG) that essentially replace Library Council. 
     Include but do not limit your recommendations to the following 
     sections of the Bylaws:
     
     Bylaws (www.ucop.edu/lauc/stateby.html)
     Article IV. Officers
     Section 7. Duties of the President.
     e. Serve as the representative of LAUC on the       
     Library Council.
     j. Nominate LAUC representatives to committees of   
     the Library Council.
     m. Serve on the Library Council Advisory Committee  
     on Library Studies.
     Section 10. Duties of the Past President.
     b. Serve as a representative of LAUC on the Library 
     Council.
     Article VII. Assembly 
     Section 4. Functions.
     c. The Assembly recommends specific actions,        
     consistent with the duties and responsibilities  prescribed to LAUC, 
     to the Office of the         President and to the Library Council.
     
     2) Review and recommend to the President and the Executive Board 
     changes to the Division's Bylaws to assure that they comply  with the 
     Bylaws in light of the University Librarians Advisory Structure 
     (implemented July 1, 1998).
     
     3) In consultation with the Scholarly Communication Web Site Editorial 
     Committee (Lee Jaffe, chair, ldjaffe@cats.ucsc.edu) recommend to the 
     President and the Executive Board an administrative structure 
     appropriate to the maintenance and promotion  of the web site.  In the 
     deliberations of this issue, please consider  that in this particular 
     case, one representative from each of the divisions serving as a 
     typical LAUC committee may not be the most efficient structure for 
     assisting the editor of this regular LAUC publication.   
     
     The Committee's recommendations may be submitted to the LAUC Executive 
     Board for review at any of the scheduled Executive Board meetings in 
     October 23, December 10 (Pre-Fall Assembly), March 12 and May tba 
     (Pre-Spring Assembly). 
     
     Formal recommendations that need approval of the membership are 
     presented at the Spring Assembly in the form of motions.  Please 
     review the appropriate sections of Sturgis for how to make motions.  
     
     Your contribution to the work of LAUC is very important. Thank you 
     again for your willingness to serve on this very significant LAUC 
     Committee.
