The 28 new librarians will be introduced by unit by their review initiators and there will be a published brochure of their brief biographies distributed to the membership.

Heidi has not yet heard back from Library Human Resources about announcing librarian promotions in the Staff NewsWeb and/or other library publications.

The luncheon for new librarians held on September 6, 2007 was very successful and is something we should continue to do. It is important to coordinate with Library Human Resources to make sure that all new hires are included, particularly temporary appointees who have moved to permanent status.

Heidi instructed new committee chairs to contact the former chairs for any documentation. It was agreed that no new charges to LAUC-LA committees will be forthcoming unless a specific issue needs to be addressed. Heidi will check with Bob Heyer-Gray (LAUC Statewide Chair) about any charges he might be considering for Statewide committee chairs.

The Ad Hoc Committee on Mentoring has been reconvened and is moving forward.
