All programs were successful and well attended. Committee members did an

excellent job, and everyone contributed to the committee's work in

organizing speakers and helping with the set up and refreshments.

The committee began work on a program to bring a speaker from UCSD to talk

about the UCSD Database Advisor. This idea was incorporated into a

library sponsored workshop.

The committee needs to begin working very quickly, because the Fall

Reception, which occurs in the early fall, is our first event and usually

requires the most preparation of all the programs. It is good to appoint

the other members to this committee as soon as possible.

Future program suggestions:

A program on the instructional programs in California's library schools

was suggested by Buzz Haughton and was well received by the LAUC-D

Executive Board and the Committee. We didn't have time to pursue it. It

was suggested that local SLA, Sac State and Sac City librarians be

invited.

Continue to ask recipients of LAUC-D research projects to present programs

on their research. Jane's talk on libraries in Wales is an example of

this.

Library updates. This was popular.

Resources Center and/or the Academic Senate.
