New ALA e-Government subcommittee; AASL can submit names for possible membership March 17, 2008
Posted by Sara Kelly Johns in : Check this out! , trackbackIf you have an interest in e-government, would like to participate in the committee described below, and will be in Anaheim and can attend the subcommittee’s meeting, please contact me <johns@northnet.org> before the end of the week (by March 22) with a message describing your experience and interest. The decision about who will represent us will be made next week.
It’s a great opportunity to get involved in an ALA committee if you are interested in e-government.
ALA Committee on Legislation’s new “Ad-Hoc Subcommittee on E-Government Services,” would like to create a committee that is comprised of people who have some knowledge of E-Government services and who are eager to work with a diverse group of people from many different ALA units. The draft charge of this subcommittee is:
to develop policy recommendations, legislative proposals and other strategies for the ALA Committee on Legislation related to the role of libraries and the delivery of E-Government services to the American public. The subcommittee shall seek involvement from the broadest range of interested units within ALA and promote collaboration to determine and meet the needs for policy, training, research, legislation and other activities related to libraries and E-Government services.
We have a chance to send in names for this. Anyone will be able to participate on the subcommittee’s wiki. This is a large issue, affecting many areas of the library world in different ways and we want to ensure that everyone’s perspective is heard.
This sub-committee will be meeting at Annual but the subcommittee will begin its work before the conference. We need to make our recommendation very soon!
