Other:
B.Hurley announced that three architects have been interviewed for the NRLF
Phase 3 project.

information packets for the new faculty members and a list of new faculty
for library selectors.
T.Leonard reported that the Library prepared a 33-page report for The
Chancellor documenting how the Library used the $4.6 million for
collections. The document can be shared with the UL candidates as a
snapshot of where we are now.
Last week, T.Leonard attended the Council of Deans meeting and met with
EVCP Gray and reported that both are acutely sensitive to campus
initiatives for streamling procedures and inducements for retaining staff.
T.Leonard will request that EVCP Gray reimburse the Library for costs
associated with planning library surge moves. EVCP Christ pledged that the
Library would not have to absorb expenses for seismic moves.
A G E N D A
1. FSM Educational Program Series (P.Iannuzzi via e-mail 10/2)
P.Iannuzzi presented a manual outlining the policy, goals, funding, review
and selection processes, and publicity for the FSM Educational Program
Series. The guidelines recommend library funding in the amount of $10,000
per year for FY2001 and FY2002. Cabinet approved, pending further
information on the source of funds from M.Rancer.
2. Emeritus Librarian Privileges (L.Leighton)
L.Leighton presented a proposal from LAUC-B recommending adoption of
Emeritus Librarian status based upon APM 120. Cabinet approved the
following Emeritus privileges: library card, ILS, use of a library carrel
when available, e-mail, and subscription database access. Cabinet cannot
approve access to the faculty modem pool, which is controlled by IS&T.
B.Hurley will consult with IS&T regarding current policy on access to the
faculty modem pool.
3. Illich Spring Event (L.Leighton)
Ivan Illich is a visiting scholar in the Anthropology Department.
S.Calpestri has recommended that the Library fund a BAKER account for his
use in exchange for a public lecture on "The Archaeology of the Text" in
the spring. Cabinet members agreed that the public lecture is a great idea
and will generate positive publicity for the Library. S.Calpestri will
work with D.Duer in Library Development to host a reception (by invitation
for library associates) following the spring lecture. M.Rancer will
provide account information for funding the enterprise.
4. Affiliated Libraries in GLADIS (L.Leighton)
The Technical Services Council has recommended that Affiliated Library
records be included in GLADIS. L.Leighton brought the issue to Cabinet for
discussion to determine if there is support to move forward. Cabinet
agreed that the merging of Affiliated Library records in GLADIS would be
valuable. Cabinet endorsed in principle the recommendation, pending a
report on time and costs from Public Services Council. I.Stirling will
work with the Library Systems Department to determine time, costs, and
priority among the projects currently on Systems' list.
5. CERF for Mark Twain and ROHO (B.Hurley)
B.Hurley recommended to Cabinet that the computer expenses for the Mark
Twain Project (MTP) and the Regional Oral History Office (ROHO) be folded
into the Computer Equipment Replacement Funding (CERF) program with all
other library units. Currently, MTP and ROHO fund computer equipment with
grant monies. If the funding is shifted to the CERF program, future MTP
and ROHO expenses for computer equipment could be listed on grant budgets
as "cost share". Cabinet apprpoved.
