Re:  Campus STIC contact needed

The Science, Technology and Industry Collection (STIC) Task Force is moving
ahead with plans for the first collection of the California Digital
Library.  We are in the final stages of drafting a general plan for review
by CDC and then by the University Librarians.

STIC Task Force members are currently: 
Alison Bunting (UCLA)
Katie Frohmberg (UCB)
Locke Morrisey (UCI)
Beverlee French (UCD)  

I serve as the facilitator.  (Stella Bentley was part of this group before she left
UCSB).

As STIC plans have developed, it has become clear that it would be very
helpful to have a science librarian appointed to serve as a contact person
at each campus.  We envisage asking this person to help in such tasks as
requesting other librarians to review lists of titles proposed for STIC,
helping to organize faculty focus groups, developing agendas for STIC
librarian workshops, etc.  STIC members can of course serve as the contact
person for their campus; we'd like to add contact persons for your campuses
as well.

If possible, please send me the name of the person you would like to be the
contact person for your campus by September 2.

Thanks for your assistance.
