E. Byrne announced there is a new exhibit at the Environmental Design Library’s Volkmann Reading Room, “Building in the Landscape: The Sea Ranch and Making Places”, April 28, 2008- September 30, 2008. This exhibit focuses on the Sea Ranch, and on Prof. Emeritus Donlyn Lyndon’s work. Waverly Lowell, and Miranda Hambro are the curators of this exhibit.
2. What's New with Shared Print:
E. Stambaugh, Manager of Shared Print collections at CDL gave an overview of her responsibilities at CDL, http://www.cdlib.org/inside/resources/sharedprint/. She highlighted the goals of this program. Among them:
To facilitate the development of more comprehensive and diverse research collections available to UC library users throughout the system through efficient collaborative methods for the prospective acquisition of research resources.
To offer incremental economies to the campuses over time through space savings and other cost avoidances.
To begin to create long-term opportunities for the re-allocation of library space to meet existing demands of current and retrospective collections and support new, transformative uses.
To preserve the scholarly printed record, where print remains the archival medium of choice, at the lowest possible unit cost.
She described the Canadian Literature Project as an example of a Prospective specialized monographic collection. She will be visiting UC Collection Development Groups to help identify opportunities to create Shared Print Collections.
3. ILS Needs:
C. Takaro, and G. Moon guided the group through an exercise to identify work related tasks that need to be addressed by the Library’s new ILS. These will be summarized and posted at the Integrated Library System Implementation wiki located at: http://sunsite3.berkeley.edu/wikis//ILS/.
C. Takaro noted that there will be more opportunities to address these issues. She will visit all councils, more than once if necessary, to ascertain these needs.
The Council thanked D. Sullivan for his leadership as Council Chair for the past two years, and welcomed P. Hamburg as the new Chair.
