RE: Charge to the Committee on Research and Professional Development

Thank you for agreeing to serve on the Committee on Research and
Professional Development. 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.

The Vice-President/President Elect serves as chair of this committee.

At the LAUC meeting of committee chairs on September 29, 1999, it was
decided that, under the auspices of the committee standing charge,  the
committee could update and make available to the membership a list of LAUC
funded research projects that was begun in 1992.  Placing this information
on the LAUC web site is desirable.  We also discussed the need for the final
reports of the LAUC research to be made more widely available.  Please
discuss with your committee members ways in which LAUC could do this.

As specified in the Bylaws (Article VIII, Section 1.J.3) the standing
     charge to the Research and Professional Development Committee is as
     follows:
 
     a)  Serve as the review body for research proposals submitted to the
      University-wide Research Grants for Librarians Program by LAUC
      members and recommend funding of proposals to the Office of the
      President.
 
     b)  Develop, monitor, and revise, as needed, procedures for carrying
      out the review of research proposals.
 
     c)  Develop guidelines for application to the University-wide
      Research Grants for Librarians Program and recommend revisions as needed.
 
     d)  Advise the President and the Executive Board on issues related to
      research and professional development for librarians and address
      other subjects at the request of the President.
