LAUC Assembly report

Morning and afternoon presentations from 2012 LAUC Assembly. NGTS was a highlight and is worth watching.Peggy was the only attendee from UCSF. She has detailed notes from the Assembly.

The afternoon also included break-out discussion sessions. It was possible to participate remotely, and what follows is a summary of the main points discussed at the LAUC-LA remote group: http://laucassembly.blogspot.com/2012/05/notes-from-lauc-la-remote-breakout.html

Executive Board Meeting report 

Mostly a debrief with the conclusion that although there were some small timing and tech glitches, all went well.

There was some discussion about how if the workflow changes (e.g. multi-campus cataloging done by a single area expert) then so too must the review process to recognize that work.

Mitchell is looking into space on a wiki or Dspace for sharing LAUC documents.
