Appointees announced
Following a selection process coordinated by SOPAG, the Council of University Librarians (CoUL) has finalized membership for the major groups in the new UC Libraries Advisory Structure.

Common Knowledge Groups (CKGs) To Be Launched in Fall
The UC Libraries Advisory Structure Implementation Team has laid the foundation for the formation of the Common Knowledge Groups (CKGs). One CKG will start its activity at the same time as the new Advisory Structure, to provide support to the Portfolio Managers from Day One. The development of the other CKGs will be the first responsibility of the Coordinating Committee once it begins its work in July. We anticipate the groups can start their activity in early fall 2013.

Ongoing Work to be Continued
The Advisory Structure Implementation Team has worked with SOPAG to document all of the current ongoing work of the existing All Campus Groups (ACGs) and their subgroups, including Common Interest Groups (CIGs). In addition, the team has added all systemwide services to ensure that no work is lost. These projects will be passed on to the new groups as they begin their work.
