Proposed Amendment to the ACRL Constitution and Bylaws

Upon the recommendation of the ACRL Publications Committee and the ACRL Board of Directors, the following text was proposed by the Committee on the ACRL Constitution and Bylaws as an addition to the ACRL Constitution and Bylaws (published in the April 1973 issue ofCollege & Research Libraries News). If approved, the proposed text would become Article VII of the ACRL Bylaws, and the current Bylaws Articles VII, VIII, IX, and X would be renumbered.

The ACRL Bylaws may be amended by a majority vote of the members of the Association attending a general meeting at an annual conference or casting ballots in a vote by mail, provided that notice of the proposed changes has been published not less than one month before the final consideration. The proposed Bylaw will be considered for approval at the ACRL Membership Meeting at the Detroit Conference on Saturday, June 18, 1977, at 2:00 p.m.
