The campus is in the process of moving from its old accounting system to the new BEARS system. As of 09-13-00, LAUC-B appears to be $40K in the black. The July report is
closed. August and September reports are still in flux.
Meeting ground rules - B. Ogden
B. Ogden proposed a set of six committee ground rules that ExComm agreed to adopt.
Librarians' travel form - B. Glendenning/B. Ogden
B. Glendenning reported the Library Travel/Training/Development Request form developed by the Library Business Office last year has been a source of confusion among some
librarians and overlaps with the LAUC-B Application for Support form. B. Ogden mentioned that Cabinet adopted a new travel policy where funds for professional development are allocated to
each librarian at the beginning of the fiscal year without submitting an advance request for support. B. Ogden proposed that LAUC-B adopt a similar policy to maximize the flexibility each
librarian has to use the combined Professional Development and LAUC funding support. ExComm agreed to pre-approve a set LAUC-B annual allocation per librarian. B. Ogden, R. Lhermitte and B.
Glendenning will develop an implementation plan for presentation at the October ExComm meeting.
LAUC-B Fall Assembly - B.Ogden
Tentative dates were set for the Fall 2000 LAUC-B Assembly: October 31, November 1, or November 2. P. Maughan will check on room availability. Several possible speakers
were suggested. B. Ogden will contact the suggested speakers. B. Ogden, B. Glendenning, and P. Maughan will work on the agenda.
Distinguished Librarian endowment - B. Ogden
This agenda item was dropped because funding at $5K per award was already raised.
Emeritus Librarian procedures - B. Glendenning

Privileges. The specified privileges can only be granted by Library Administration. B. Glendenning will draft a cover letter to be forwarded by B. Ogden to T. Leonard, Interim University
