The Affiliated Libraries Administrative Group
Charge:
The Affiliated Libraries Administrative Group (TALAG) was formed to foster
effective communication among the Affiliated
Libraries and between the Affiliated Libraries and The
Library on the University of California, Berkeley (UCB) campus.
What Are Affiliated Libraries?:
Library resources on the UCB campus are rich and varied. There are two
major types of libraries on the campus: The Library and the Affiliated
Libraries. The nine Affiliated Libraries are physically and
administratively separate from The Library. Each Affiliated Library is
part of a department, professional school, or organized research unit
(ORU), to which it reports and through which it receives funding.
The primary mission of the Affiliated Libraries is to support the
teaching and research needs of their respective institutions. Their
collections and services reflect these specialized concerns. However, most
of the Affiliated Libraries serve the larger campus and off-campus
communities as well as their own organization. Some Affiliated Libraries
have a much broader mandate: to serve the University as a whole and the
people of California. Whatever their individual missions, the Affiliated
Libraries offer unique subject expertise and play a major role in
providing library collections and services to the Berkeley campus
community and beyond. The Affiliated Libraries hold 29% of currently
received serials and 17% of the total volumes on the UCB campus.
History of TALAG:
In 2003, The Library and the Affiliated Libraries convened a joint task
force to review the relationships between the libraries and identify
problems. In spring 2004 the task force wrote a report on its findings,
including recommendations for improvements. TALAG was formed as a result
of recommendations included in that report.
Membership:
The administrative head of each Affiliated Library is a member. The
LAUC-B elected Affiliated Representative is an ex-officio member.
