LAUC Advisory Statement to Council of University Librarians--6/10/2013
Documents for Assembly Breakout Sessions
Preparation for the 2013 LAUC Assembly began with divisional discussions during March, 2013 of the Council of University Librarians’ document entitled University of California Libraries Systemwide Plan and Priorities, FY 2013-2016 followed by a consolidation of all feedback from the divisions by the LAUC Executive Board. Assembly discussion on May 20th will be an all division consideration of the consolidated document. We ask that attendees review this document prior to the Assembly discussion, which will be facilitated by divisional chairs and delegates. The feedback gathered during the Assembly will be synthesized into an advisory statement from LAUC and submitted to the Council of University Librarians for their meeting in June 2013.
The full divisional feedback, arranged into the 5 documents below, is also available for review for those interested in the complete process. Review of these documents prior to the Assembly is optional and is intended for those interested in the further background.
1. What’s missing from the document that LAUC feels is important to address/include? (Q1 Document)
2. What does LAUC feel are the highest priorities among those outlined in the document? Include rationale for your selections. (Q2 Document)
3. Drawing on LAUC members’ operational experience and perspectives, which of the priorities listed in the document are feasible/practical with UC’s existing resources/staffing/expertise? (Q3 Document)
4. Which activities should the UC library stop performing in order to accommodate or achieve the stated priorities? (Q4 Document)
5. What concrete next steps or action items related to the document and its contents should LAUC undertake following the Assembly or should LAUC recommend to CoUL? (Q5 Document)
