Pat Maughan, to serve on transition subcommittees.
Tom Leonard announced that he and Mike Rancer are scheduled to meet on

The Library has provided wage comparison information to the Campus
Compensation Committee, which will be reviewing facts provided by staff
groups across campus. The Library's report will be shared with EVCP Gray
and the Academic Senate Library Committee but will not be distributed more
widely until after the compensation committee has had an opportunity to
fully review the material.
Tom Leonard reported that the Library anticipates receiving a generous
endowment designated for preservation work.
Bancroft Library submitted three grant proposals to the National Endowment
for the Humanities. NEH approved funding for the Advanced Papyrological
Information System - Phase III, provided one-year funding of the three-year
request for the Mark Twain Project, and declined funding for the project to
digitize the Archives of California.
Charles Faulhaber reported that all sprinkler heads and alarm systems in
Doe Annex are scheduled to be replaced within the next 18 months. This

Library and the Library Systems Office.

1. LHRD Director's Job Description --M.Rancer
Mike Rancer distributed a draft position description for the Library Human
Resources Director and a draft cover letter to the Director of Campus
Classification/Compensation. Cabinet suggested changes to positively
highlight the most important areas of the job. Suggestions included
stronger language to emphasize the organizational development component,
the complexity of the position, and parity with the Associate University
Librarians. Mike will prepare a revised cover letter with highlights of
the job and rewrite the position description. Amended versions will be
forwarded confidentially to members of Org Devl for comment, before
bringing them back to Cabinet for final approval. Recruitment can begin
after campus HR provides the classification level. Cabinet will discuss
the formation of a search committee after the job description has been
classified.
2. Budget Model and Budget Call for FY 2001-02 --M.Rancer
Mike Rancer distributed by email the working draft of the "Operating
Summary" budget document forecasting the Library's operating budget over
the period 2001-2003. Other budget related documents included the draft
plan/schedule for preparation of the current year's budget, and draft calls
for GA, S&E, Equipment, Facilities, and New Initiatives. These calls were
patterned after last year's budget process. Mike noted that the working
draft includes only 19900 (state) funds and other unrestricted resources
and that the new campus systems will tie all salary monies to
positions. GA forecasts are based on current needs with appropriate
allowances for wage increases. It was noted that last year, staffing needs
were underestimated for some projects. Cabinet will discuss the budget
categories on April 12.
3. MIP Update from IST --B.Hurley, T.Leonard
The Museum Informatics Project (MIP) is going through reorganization. Tom
Duncan will be on leave and working on a consultant basis after June, and
Merrill Shanks will provide transition leadership. Parts of MIP may
migrate to Information Systems & Technology (IST), and Jack McCredie has
been meeting with MIP customers to reassure them that current services will
continue.
