"What Keeps Me up at Night: The Future of Academic
Librarianship"
Paula Kaufman, University Librarian at University of Illinois
"In decades past, academic librarianship was an attractive profession, of interest to both persons with academic training who learned from observation or a student job opportunity that librarianship was a wonderfully rewarding career and to persons training to be librarians whose first choice among all job opportunities was to work in an academic library. From the end of World War II until about 15 years ago, academic libraries had budgets sufficient to purchase not just those materials needed by today's scholars but materials future scholars were anticipated to need as well...."

Administrative Council Meeting Minutes
Monday, March 20, 2000
Present: Paula Kaufman, Chair; Bill Brockman, Margaret Chaplan, Marianna Choldin, Tina Chrzastowski, Bart Clark, Alan Conrad, Barbara Henigman, Deloris Holiman, Barbara Jones, Lyn Jones, Sara Randall, Diane Schmidt, Karen Schmidt, Paula Watson, Karen Wei, Joyce Wright
Paula Kaufman congratulated Deloris Holiman on receiving the Chancellor’s Distinguished Staff Award.
1. Plans for storage facility (Clark, Kaufman)
Plans for the new storage facility in the south campus research park have been halted. The Office of Project Planning and Facility Management has been advised to find other space. The Library will proceed with general plans until specific space has been identified.
2. 2002 Budget (Clark, Kaufman)
Paula and Bart explained the procedures involved in preparing the 2002 Budget. The budget must be prepared before the results of the 2001 Budget requests are known. Since we will be looking at a short turn around time, we need to be thinking in advance about 2002 Budget requests. Some considerations are electronic resources, paper resources, and people resources as well as basic needs we haven’t been able to fill. The Budget Committee will remain the same with others being involved as their areas are considered. AC should e-mail Paula, Bart, or any committee member with ideas and suggestions.
3. Reconfiguration Update (Clark)
The reconfiguration plans are moving ahead. Construction is to start in December 2000 or January 2001 with completion within approximately ten months. The outcome of the negotiations for a storage facility will have a high impact on the reconfiguration plans. Construction for the reconfiguration will be done in stages, and all departments will remain open and in operation. There will be disruptions from noise and removing debris, but no shutdowns. Libraries outside the Main Library building should not be impacted.
4. Announcements and Updates
Paula Watson reported on the results of the Task Force for Awards. Task Force members were Paula, Joyce Wright, Andy Bendel, and Peggy Ramert. She handed out a draft of "Annual Faculty and Library Staff Awards Program" that she asked AC to read and consider. The document will be on the agenda for the next meeting.
Paula Watson also distributed the "Summary of Task Force’s Recommendations" (on committees) and an accompanying document. Paula pointed out areas that need to be reconsidered. The recommendations and document will be on the agenda for the next AC meeting.
The meeting adjourned at 3:40 p.m.
