The Creative Ideas in Technical Services Interest Group (CITSIG) seeks an
interested person to serve as Vice-Chair from July 2016-June 2017 and as
Chair from July 2017-June 2018.



Housed within the Association for Library Collections and Technical
Services division of ALA, CITSIG was created to provide a forum to discuss
issues related to the evolution of technical services. The group is
especially interested in exploring the interdependency between departments
and the ways in which technical services affects, and is affected by,
technology and publishing trends.

aspects of the roundtable discussions that are held during the Interest
Group’s Midwinter and Annual meetings. Tasks include sending call for
proposal emails to listservs, vetting proposals, sending promotional emails
to listservs, coordinating logistics with round table discussion
facilitators, and managing all aspects of the in-person meetings.
Interested people should be able to attend in-person the 2017 and 2018
Midwinter and Annual meetings of ALA.  CITSIG meets at 1pm on the Sunday of
both conferences.



Those interested in becoming Vice-Chair of the Creative Ideas in Technical
Services Interest Group should submit a letter of interest that includes:

1. A short biographical sketch: who are you and why does this group
interest you?

2. Your availability to attend ALA Midwinter and Annual meetings in 2016
