   UL Interview Schedule - B. Glendenning
      B. Glendenning (University Librarian search committee member) attended a portion of the meeting. She urged all members of EX Comm to attend the Early Bird with Elaine Sloan (UL candidate) scheduled for Tuesday, July 14th from 8:30 - 10:00 a.m. at Alumni House. She reiterated the desire of the UL search committee to receive comments from all library staff regarding the UL candidates. Ex Comm members attending the lunch interview with Elaine Sloan on Tuesday, July 14th are: T. Dean, T. Huwe, C. Lee, L.Vida, J. Von Euw, B. Weil.

      After B. Glendenning left, discussion continued regarding general areas of interest to LAUC-B that should be pursued at the lunch interview. T. Huwe spoke about CAPA's interest in general peer review issues and the interplay between library management practices and academic review.

   CAPA Review Cycle - T. Huwe
      T. Huwe gave a brief CAPA report summarizing the cases that were reviewed during this cycle. CAPA was very pleased with the timeliness of responses from Peter Lyman's (UL) office and the Library Human Resources Department (LHRD). All parties stayed on schedule and met their deadlines. In Affiliated Librarian cases, The Executive Vice Chancellor Christ has completed her review of all but a few cases. Penny Abell (Interim UL) has met with CAPA to discuss peer review issues generally on two occassions.

   1998/99 Budget Cycle - B. Weil
      B. Weil reviewed the names of librarians eligible to receive LAUC-B travel funds according to the by-laws. A full roster of LAUC-B members is available on the Web. Since LAUC-B often needs a list of affiliated librarians, it was suggested that the full roster be annotated to indicate affiliated librarians. Discussion ensued regarding the creation of a list of librarians recalled on VERIP and those working under 50%.

      ACTION) B. Weil and L. Vida will work together to update the roster and create a list of "Affiliate Librarians" (i.e., LAUC-B members who are not entitled to full LAUC membership due to the percentage of time worked or the primary location of their appointment). (../bylaws/index.html#2)

   The next meeting will be on Tuesday, August 11, 1998 from 9:00 am - 11:00 am.

The meeting was adjourned at 10:50 am.
