[Metadatalibrarians] Volunteer for ALCTS Committees!

[Qiang Jin]

Interested in serving on an ALCTS Division or Section Committee?

Concerned that limited funding may make it impossible for you to attend conferences?

Don’t worry. Volunteer anyway!

Keep in mind that many committees now do much of their work between conferences by e-mail and phone calls. There are also some committees (such as award juries) that don’t meet at conference at all. And we do have virtual members on committees. The ALCTS appointing officers are committed to working with volunteers to find an appropriate spot for you. Just let us know your circumstances when you fill out the volunteer form.

Additional hints: Don’t select all committees. Tell us the top 3 or 4 you are interested in. And tell us as much about yourself in terms of experiences and interests. We don’t know all of you personally at this point and the information will help us determine a good fit.

Don’t forget, Volunteer Forms are due by March 1 to assure consideration.
