ASERL Friends: Are you a curious, forward-thinking, dependable, persistent and detail-oriented individual? Are you looking for new opportunities to use your skills, meet new & interesting colleagues, make a positive impact on the library community? We have an array of opportunities for you! ASERL is seeking volunteers to help with leading our many professional interest groups and committees, starting in mid/late summer 2023. Leadership opportunities include: * Accessibility Interest Group * Associate Deans / AUL Networking Group * Collection Strategy Interest Group * Resource Sharing Committee (an expansion of Kudzu-Ops to include Resource Sharing at all ASERL libraries) * Scholarly Communications Committee (includes Copyright Office Hours) * Special Collections Interest Group NEW! In the year ahead we will create a Professional Development Committee to be a driving force behind our engaging webinars and events. Our committees/interest groups typically have a leadership group of 4 - 6 people who collaborate to shape the future of their group's activities. Each group is tasked with creating at least one public-facing program per quarter (e.g., a community conversation, a webinar, an online networking sessions, etc.) In-person events are also possible, like our BIPOC Leadership Development workshops and the upcoming "Risky Business" conference for people working with special collections and archives. The impact of your contributions will be remarkable -- our top events have drawn more than 1,000 participants, and we average 75 participants per webinar. Imagine the influence you can have on librarians and cultural heritage professionals from all corners of the world! * TIME COMMITMENT: Leadership roles such as this typically require 2-3 hours per month. * EXPERIENCE LEVEL: We are seeking dedicated volunteers from all areas of the library to help lead our committees/interest groups. We welcome all levels of experience, including people who are early in their careers and/or serving in staff roles. Bonus points if you already have experience hosting or organizing professional development webinars or events -- your previous involvement in such initiatives will undoubtedly be an asset to our committee. * NEXT STEPS: If you're interested in becoming a part of this exciting work, simply send an email to Elaina Norlin enorlin [at] aserl.org<mailto:enorlin [at] aserl.org>, expressing which group(s) are most interesting to you and why you would be a great volunteer. We value your enthusiasm, expertise, and commitment to professional growth. * TIMELINE: Please contact us by July 7, 2023. Don't miss this incredible opportunity to shape the future of professional development for librarians worldwide. Join our Professional Development Committee and be a catalyst for positive change! And please share with colleagues at other ASERL libraries<https://www.aserl.org/about/member-libraries-map/> who might be interested! Kind regards, --j.e.b.
