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.
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.
