     FROM:    Kari Lucas, LAUC President
     
     RE:      Charge to the Committee on Library Plans and Policies
     
     Thank you for agreeing to serve on the Committee on Library Plans and 
     Policies.  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 Berkeley, Davis, Irvine, and Los 
     Angeles terms end September 30, 2000.  The terms of the continuing 
     members from Riverside, San Diego, San Francisco, Santa Barbara, and 
     Santa Cruz terms end September 30, 1999.  
     
     The committee chair will inform you of budget information for 
     arranging payment for travel to committee meetings. Each division 
     handles these transactions differently, so please be sure to check 
     with your local accounting officers to find out how your specific 
     division charges to the LAUC account.
     
     To ensure continuity, a chair designate, who will serve as Chair in 
     1999/00, will be appointed within the next few months.
     
     According to the Bylaws (Article VIII, Section 1.J.4), the standing 
     charge to the Library Plans and Policies Committee is to: 
     
     a) Advise the President and the Executive Board on issues related to 
     University wide library plans and policies, consider and develop 
     recommendations on these matters, and address other subjects at the 
     request of the President.
     
     In addition to the committee standing charge,
     
     1) Monitor and report to the President and the Executive Board on UC 
     libraries' information literacy plans and policies that address user 
     education in the effective use of online systems and electronic 
     access. 
     
     2) Monitor and report to the President and the Executive Board on UC 
     libraries initiatives to deploy computer workstations for access to 
     online resources.  Include changes on public service policies and 
     procedures, librarian training, and all other relevant planning and 
     policy issues.
     
     3) Monitor and report to the President and the Executive Board on LAUC 
     member involvement in the following areas of the California Digital 
     Library:  development and implementation of programs and services and 
     collection and access policies.
     
     The Committee's recommendations should 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, or 
     May tba (Pre-Spring Assembly).  
     
     Formal recommendations that need approval of the membership are 
     presented to 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.
