aserl-collection-strategy Mailing List: INVITE: ASERL Open House: Volunteer Service / Leadership Opportunities within ASERL

[John Burger, ASERL (jburger]

ASERL Friends:


It’s that time of year:  We are seeking volunteers to serve as part of 
leadership groups for our various committees and interest groups for the 
upcoming program year, and to thank those who have been serving as leaders for 
the past few years who are ready to rotate off.  Leadership opportunities 
include:

  1.  Accessibility Interest Group
  2.  Associate Deans / AUL Networking Group
  3.  Collection Strategy Interest Group
  4.  Professional Development
  5.  Resource Sharing Committee (an expansion of Kudzu-Ops to include Resource 
Sharing at all ASERL libraries)
  6.  Scholarly Communications Committee
  7.  Special Collections Interest Group
  8.  “ASERL Eleven” License Review Team

All of the above groups are led by teams of library professionals from ASERL 
libraries – usually 5 - 8 people per team.  Instead of a few co-chairs for each 
committee, we have found it beneficial to tap into the group’s brainpower and 
creativity, and to help spread out the workload among many hands.

We already have a few names of people interested in joining some of these 
groups for the year ahead, and we have also fielded several questions.  To help 
get the word out and engage with new people in our membership, we are hosting 
an online Open House to offer anyone in our member libraries a chance to learn 
more about these service opportunities, the ideas and plans for upcoming 
activities within the various committees/interest groups, and ways they (you!) 
can join our merry band.  People from under-represented groups are very much 
encouraged to volunteer!

PLEASE SHARE WITH OTHERS IN YOUR LIBRARIES!
