ACRL Seeks Volunteers for Offices and Committees

Would you like to run for an ACRL office or volunteer for appointment to an ACRL standing committee? Are you interested in seeking office in an ACRL section or being considered for appointment to a section committee? If the answer is yes to any of these questions, here is how you proceed.

ACRL President

The ACRL Appointments and Nominations Committee will nominate candidates for the office of ACRL vice-president/president-elect at the January 1984 Midwinter meeting of ALA. The election for this office will be held in the spring of 1985. The winner of the election will serve as vicepresident/president-elect during 1985-86 and as president of ACRL during 1986-87. If you wish to be considered for nomination to this office or if you would like to submit names for consideration, contact the chair of the Appointments and Nominations Committee, Mary Reichel, Head, Reference Department, Pullen Library, Georgia State University, 100 Decatur Street, Atlanta, GA 30303.

ACRL Committees

ACRL has eighteen standing committees to which appointments may be made: Academic or Research Librarian of the Year Award Committee, Academic Status Committee, Appointments and Nominations Committee, Audiovisual Committee, Budget and Finance Committee, Conference Program Planning Committee, Constitution and Bylaws Committee, Continuing Education Committee Copyright Committee, Doctoral Dissertation Fellowship Committee Legislation Commit- 'tee, Membership Committee, National Conference Committee, Planning Committe Publications Committee, Samuel Lazerow Fellowship Committee, Standards and Accreditation Committee, and the Supplemental Funds Committee. To learn about the areas of responsibility covered by these committees, see the ALA Handbook of Organization 1983-84.

When selected vacancies occur on ACRL standing committees, the Appointments and Nominations Committee recommends to the presidentelect of ACRL the names of members who might fill the vacancies. The president-elect makes the final appointments. If you are interested in being considered for appointment to an ACRL committee, you should complete the ACRL Committee Volunteer Form that is included in this issue of C&RL News and mail it to Mary Reichel, chair of the Appointments and Nominations Committee, before January 1, 1984.

ACRL Section Officers

ACRL has thirteen sections (their names are listed later in this article). You will find a description of their areas of responsibility in the ALA Handbook of Organization.

The chair-elect of a section appoints the chair and members of all section committees when scheduled vacancies on these committees occur. If you would like to be considered for appointment as chair or member of a section committee, fill out the ACRL Committee Volunteer Form and mail it to the chair-elect of the appropriate section (see “People to Contact” below) before January 1, 1984.

Editorial Boards

ACRL has five editorial boards: the Choice Editorial Board, the College & Research Libraries Editorial Board, the College & Research Libraries News Editorial Board, the Nonprint Media Publications Editorial Board, and the Publications in Librarianship Editorial Board. When a vacancy occurs on an editorial board, the editor recommends the name of a person to fill the vacancy. The Publications Committee must approve the recommendation. The ACRL Board must give its approval, and finally the president of ACRL makes the appointment.

If you would like to be considered for appointment to an editorial board, contact the editor of the publication (see “People to Contact” below).

ACRL COMMITTEE VOLUNTEER FORM

Remember that at any given time there are only a limited number of vacancies on ACRL’s committees, sections, and editorial boards. If at first you don’t succeed in obtaining an appointment, try again. Make yourself known to committee chairs by sitting in on meetings, volunteering to help with committee projects, etc. If committee chairs see that you are interested in the work of their committees, they may recommend your name to the appropriate appointing body when a vacancy occurs.
