Inouye pcinouye@ucdavis.edu RE: Charge to the Committee on Library Plans and Policies Thank you for agreeing to serve on the Committee on Library Plans and Policies. This year, the overall goal for the work of the committees is to be meaningful and provide future directions for LAUC to explore in the future. To ensure continuity, a chair designate, who will serve as Chair in 2000/2001, will be appointed within the next few months. At the LAUC meeting of committee chairs on September 29, 1999, it was decided that under the auspices of the committee standing charge that the committee would focus on investigating the University of California libraries existing initiatives for the preservation of digital material. Further, the committee may make recommendations for further studies. One topic we discussed was advising on future inadequacies of space in UC libraries. 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. The focus of your work will be announced at Fall Assembly.
