Dear All,

The ALA Core Catalog Management Interest Group (CMIG) seeks two volunteers
to serve as Vice Co-Chairs for the rest of the 2022-2023 term and Co-Chairs
for the 2023-2024 term. The Catalog Management Interest Group provides a
forum for exchanging information and discussing how to apply current
techniques and new developments, including but not limited to: resolving
the technical problems, ethical dilemmas, and diversity concerns with
managing the data integrity and data availability of library catalogs and
related discovery tools.

Our charge is to discuss the various issues involved in bibliographic
control, authority control, holding and item issues, metadata application,
and their impact on discovery and user access.

As Vice Co-Chair, you will assist with the planning and delivery of the
Group's meetings, including solicitation for speakers and selection of
topics to be presented. As Co-Chair, you will assume full responsibility
for planning the meetings, filing reports to ALA, and selecting incoming
Vice Co-Chairs.

Attendance at ALA Annual Conferences and LibLearnX is desirable and highly
encouraged for the one-year Vice Co-Chair term and required for the
one-year Co-Chair commitment. No prior experience is necessary.

Please submit your name and a brief statement of interest to Jeanette
Kalchik (jkalchik at stanford.edu)and Cindy Tian (ttian at nd.edu) by June 24th,
2022.

*ALA Core membership required.

We look forward to hearing from you!
