Systemwide Operations and Planning Advisory Group (SOPAG)

Years active: 1998-2013

NOTE: Beginning July 2013, the University of California Libraries launched a revised advisory structure. The groups within the previous structure are no longer active, including this group. See UC Libraries Advisory Structure (UCLAS) for information about the current structure.

Group Description

Developed: Issue Papers and Action Plans for consideration by the University Librarians.

Appointed: Task Forces and Strategic Issue Groups — Cross-functional teams to accomplish defined tasks or study specific issues in a specified time frame, e.g., develop a plan for cooperative cataloging of electronic content, develop a white paper on authentication, monitor performance of intercampus Interlibrary Loans. LAUC representation may be requested, when appropriate.

Appointed: All Campus Groups– On-going groups consisting of UC senior professional staff with similar portfolios. Each group will be comprised of one representative from each campus library and one from the CDL, e.g., Heads of Technical Services at all 10 UC Libraries; and a LAUC representative. Members are appointed by their University Librarian. A LAUC representative will also be a member of each All Campus Group and will be selected by the University Librarians from a slate of three candidates forwarded to the University Librarians by LAUC. Exception: the Human Resources Group reports directly to the University Librarians Group and does not contain a LAUC representative.
