aserl-accessibilityig Mailing List: NEWS: ASERL is a partner in the renewed Position Description Bank

[John Burger (jburger]

September 9, 2022 - ATLANTA - Today the Association of Southeastern Research 
Libraries (ASERL) announced a new partnership with leading research library 
organizations to support ongoing development of the Research Library Position 
Description Bank, a database of thousands of job descriptions provided by 
research libraries from across North America and the UK.  The partnering 
organizations are:

  *   Association of Research Libraries (ARL)
  *   Association of Southeastern Research Libraries (ASERL)
  *   Canadian Association of Research Libraries (CARL)
  *   Research Libraries UK (RLUK)

Formerly called the ARL Position Description Bank, the new moniker and 
governance structure reflects a broad-based community approach for supporting 
this resource into the future.   The database was designed and is maintained by 
a team at the George A. Smathers Libraries of the University of Florida.

The PD Bank is a service available at no charge to all ASERL libraries as a 
benefit of their membership in the Association.  The new governance structure 
includes committees to help guide future developments; a call for volunteers to 
fill these roles will be coming soon.

See https://www.aserl.org/2022/09/rl-pd-bank/ for the full announcement and 
links to the PD Bank website.

Please let me know any questions.  We hope this proves to be a valuable 
resource for our members!


Kind regards,

--j.e.b.
