188 The University of California Libraries Also, if steps have not already been taken, consideration should be given to the early development of arrangements for coordinating the administration of independent libraries, where such exist or may be created, with the campus library system, and chief campus administrative officers are authorized to take whatever steps are necessary to establish coordination or integration. The purpose of this directive is to assure that consideration will be given to the maximum general campus usefulness of all University-owned library facilities. 1 In 1962, after consultation with the Library Council and the President's Council of Chief Campus Officers, President Kerr issued another policy statement which contained the following paragraph: All special libraries existing as parts of organized research units shall be administered as branches of the General Library, except where the type of collection involves special handling and where there exists mutual agreement between the General Library and the research unit. An exception requires the approval of the Chief Campus Officer. 2 The 1974 Library Policy Task Force report mentioned the question of whether "Universitywide guidelines for branch libraries [should] be established." 3 but did not raise the issue of governance. In the absence of any evident need for a change in the present policy, therefore, the plan recommends none. Campus. The 1962 policy statement mentioned above also included a statement that: On each campus there shall be a University Librarian who shall report to the Chief Campus Officer. The University Librarian shall be responsible for the development and management of the University Library. Deviations from this administration pattern must be approved by the President upon recommendation of the Chief Campus Officer. Since that time, the reporting relationships have been changed so that the University Librarian now reports to the Academic Vice Chancellor (or the equivalent) on each campus.

The plan anticipates that this pattern will continue. Region. For the governance of the regional systems, there are already precedents in the formation of the Northern Regional Library System. Discussions by the Chancellors at Davis, Berkeley, and Santa Cruz in the Spring of 1974 led to the formation by the Library Steering Committee of a Subcommittee on Regional Library Planning for the Northern Campuses, chaired initially by Donald C. Swain, then Academic Vice Chancellor at Davis. By January, 1975, a list of objectives had been formulated, and funds requested for five studies "to facilitate the development of a regional library plan." In April, 1975, the Subcommittee adopted its "Fundamental Planning Assumptions for Regional Library Planning in the North," stressing the point that the system must be unified rather than several separately-defined campus collections, giving high priority to bibliographic access and a direct borrowing system, and suggesting the inclusion of private universities and campuses of the California State University and Colleges at an early date. The Subcommittee met several times during the Fall of 1975, and on February 23, 1976, voted to create the Northern Regional Library System. A Board of Directors was established, consisting of the University Librarians of the four Northern campuses and the Executive Director of Universitywide Library Planning, with the Librarian at Stanford University as a "liaison member." The Board meets periodically to review regional matters, and has continued to study means of improving intercampus cooperation. With this as background and precedent, the plan recommends the following basic arrangement for governance and administration of the two regional systems: • A Board of Directors consisting of the University Librarians in the region and the Executive Director of Library Planning, ex officio. The Board would determine operating procedures for the region, with policy guidance from the Office of the Executive Director and the Library Policy Steering Committee. The Board would report officially to the
