Absent: A.Ritch, K.Wayne.
ANNOUNCEMENTS
The 2001 Job Satisfaction Survey results arrived and indicate some positive
trends. T.Leonard and Admin are now reviewing the report, which will be
posted on the Library's web site for all library staff to examine in detail.
T.Leonard, noting Alan Ritch's plans to retire mid-March, reported that
Admin decided that the Library should move quickly to post the job
announcement and begin recruitment for the AUL Collections
position. Cabinet concurred.
T.Leonard announced that a decision regarding the HR director position will
be made on February 1.
[Note: On February 4 , Tom Leonard announced that Lee Leighton will serve
approximately one year as Acting Director of Library Human Resources while
the HR director position is re-posted.]
I.Stirling reminded Cabinet about the all day A&I Transition Workshops
being held at CDL on Thursday and Friday.
A G E N D A
1. User Authentication --Bernie Hurley
B.Hurley reported that the use of CalNet ID for the Proxy Server is being
tested internally in the library and could be released in the near
future. Once released, a CalNet ID could be used to authenticate a user to
the Library Proxy Service. However, the CalNet ID could not yet be used as
a Pathfinder logon. One Cabinet member argued that the CalNet logon to the
proxy server should not be released until it also works with
Pathfinder. Others disagreed.
Hurley will check on the possibility of also using the CalNet ID as a
Pathfinder logon and report back to Cabinet. Leonard will consult with
faculty on the Academic Senate Library Committee.
2. Leave Policy Discussion --Tom Leonard
T.Leonard met with D.Sommer as a follow-up to the January 24th Roundtable
discussion of the "Draft Policy on Training, Development and University
Service". Org Dev will provide a record of Roundtable's comments. Cabinet
agreed that a brief, general policy statement on training and development
based on principles seems most appropriate now. Due to the impact on the
Library Human Resources Department, the implementation portion of the draft
policy document will require considerable input from the HR
leadership. Leonard will draft a statement of principles and consult with
Sommer in another week.
3. Task Force on Reclass Policy --Tom Leonard
All campus units have been directed to fund reclass-related salary
increases from their own budgets and the Library now must develop a
mechanism for meeting these new budgetary demands. T.Leonard distributed a
draft call for volunteers for a task force review of the reclassification
process in the Library. This new "Task Force on Reclass Policy and
Procedures" will be asked to recommend policies and procedures that will
ensure the job reclassifications are linked to the Library's top
priorities, the reclassifications processes are equitable across library
units, and the reclass-related salary increases are affordable given
budgetary constraints. Cabinet reviewed the draft document and suggested a
few changes. B.Hurley, L.Leighton and M.Rancer volunteered to edit the
document. [Note: On February 5, T.Leonard issued the call requesting that
self-nominations for task force membership be sent to him by February 12.]
4. Library Committee and its Tours --T.Leonard
T.Leonard reported that the Academic Senate Library Committee is planning a
series of tours to accompany some of its meetings. On February 8, the
committee will tour the Long Business and Economics Library at the Haas
School and at a later date (possibly March 1) will tour The Bancroft
Library. Suggestions for other tours are welcomed.
5. Fees for Tours and Workshops --I.Stirling
I.Stirling distributed handouts of library web pages containing information
regarding the current practices on charging consulting fees for customized
library tours, seminars, and workshops for non-UCB groups. Cabinet
discussed some specific examples. Stringent rules govern fees-for-services
on campus. Cabinet agreed that library policies regarding
fees-for-services should be revisited to ensure compliance with campus
guidelines.
6. SOPAG Report --B.Hurley
Prior to the meeting, a series of documents on issues being discussed in
the Systemwide Operations and Planning Advisory Group (SOPAG) were
distributed by email to Cabinet. B.Hurley asked Cabinet members to review
the information contained in "The CDL's Vision for Service Integration",
"Database Customization and Administration for UC Libraries", and the
draft "Digital Visual Resources Planning", and requested comments regarding
the table of "Non-UC Contributors".
