The meeting was called to order at 4:05 p.m.  The September 26, 1995
minutes were approved as submitted.  E. Hitchingham was not able to attend
the meeting; the agenda item related to the gift from the Class of '45 will
be carried to the next meeting.

A. Marshall-Baker circulated a draft of a letter to Gerald Luttrell,
past-chair of the committee, in appreciation for his service last year.
She also noted that committee member D. Clowes had expressed interest in
having an ARL statistics report brought to the ULC.  A past report had
enabled the committee to understand our rankings in various categories in
comparison with other peer university libraries, and he was particularly
interested in how sequential rankings may relate to budget.  This agenda
item will be carried to the next meeting.

In accordance with the Committee's expressed interest in learning more
about the library's functional areas and services, Virginia Chapman, Head
of the Media Center, gave a presentation describing the collections and
services of the University Libraries' Media Center, New Media Center and
Special Services.  She traced the history behind the library's recent
decision to begin charging 10 cents a page for printing from the Centers'
computers.  She also reported on how the new policy to allow circulation of
videos to students was working.  Following the presentation, committee
members opted to tour the Media Center.

The meeting adjourned at 4:50 p.m.  The next meeting will be on Thursday,
November 16, 1995.
