What is LAUC-LA?

The Librarians Association of the University of California, Los Angeles  (LAUC-LA) is the UCLA Division of the statewide Librarians Association of the University of California (LAUC).

Article II, Section 1 of the LAUC-LA Bylaws states: "LAUC-LA shall serve in an advisory capacity to the Office of the Chancellor and the Library administration on professional governance matters of concern to all librarians at UCLA." See the complete LAUC-LA Bylaws.

  • Each Standing Committee Chair should contact their committee members by September 30 to set up the first meeting.
