Inouye pcinouye@ucdavis.edu RE: Charge to the Scholarly Communication Web page Editorial Committee Thank you for agreeing to serve on the Scholarly Communication Web page Editorial Committee. 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. At the LAUC meeting of committee chairs on September 29, 1999, it was decided that LAUC needs to address the issues surrounding effective continuation, growth and further evolution of the LAUC Scholarly Communication web site. I will bring these issues and the list of suggestions of how to create a structure that would work best for the maintenance and growth of the LAUC Scholarly Communication Web site, a LAUC publication, to the Executive Board. I will also pose the issue of LAUC's goals and objectives, that is, what does LAUC want the publication to be, for the publication, to give direction to you as editors. With the beginning of the 2000/2001 LAUC year as a goal for implementation, this year the committee will continue as stated below: The Bylaws (Article IV, Section 7.h), gives the President the authority to appoint "the editor of any regular LAUC publication." Therefore, this year's charge to this committee is to: a) Continue to organize and maintain the New Horizons in Scholarly Communication Web site. b) Promote awareness of the site Formal recommendations that need approval of the membership are presented at the Fall or Spring Assembly in the form of motions. Please review the appropriate sections of Sturgis for how to make motions. Please use the report format below. Your contributions to the work of LAUC is very important. Thank you again for your willingness to serve on this very significant LAUC committee.
