      4. We will be able to carry forward unspent professional development funding to next year

    4. LAUC statewide conference call (J. Nelson) 11:30

      1. It was decided that, instead of moving exclusively to division rosters being maintained at the statewide level, individual campuses should have the option of continuing to update their own rosters (the issue before LAUC-Statewide was whether it would be more efficient/preferable to maintain a single roster on the statewide website).

      2. Julie Levefre is stepping down as statewide web master and Jerrold Shiroma from UC Merced will take over.  LAUC-B ExComm thanks Julie for her exemplary service on behalf of the statewide organization.

      3. Research and Professional Development Committee - Slides will be provided by the statewide RPD committee to each campus discussing application for professional development funds.  Berkeley’s local Research Committee will present this information to Berkeley librarians.
