The L-CAP is charged with:

●     Liaising with library administration, faculty, and staff to ensure the representation and inclusion of the AP voice in decisions and projects that impact the University Library. L-CAP members, or representatives, will be appointed as liaisons to update and voice AP matters with EC, AC, LSSC, CAP (Council of Academic Professionals) and with other relevant task-forces or committees as deemed necessary;

●     Supporting APs through representation, regular communication about library affairs, and advocacy for professional development opportunities;

●     Advising administration on current and future promotional considerations for APs, including performance metrics and reviews;

●     Ensuring that Library APs are nominated and represented in campus-wide activities.

The L-CAP shall consist of seven Academic Professional members elected at-large.

Method of Election: L-CAP shall follow the same process as other library elected committees, all APs (including Visiting APs) will be eligible for election and will have the option of removing their name from the ballot before each election. Each member of the committee will be elected for two years with one half being elected each year. Initially one half the committee will be elected for a one year term. Committee members who have served two consecutive terms must take a minimum one-term hiatus before being eligible to serve again.

If an L-CAP member leaves during their term, the person with the next highest votes on the most recent ballot will fill the vacancy. If they leave in the last 6 months, it is up the discretion of L-CAP whether to fill the vacancy at that time or wait until the next ballot.  

Chairperson: Elections for chair will be held each August. Each chair may serve two consecutive terms if elected by the committee.
