Subject: ALA discussion group chair needed

Attention Interested Vendors!
 
Here is an opportunity to become involved in ALA and host an open discussion between 
library staff  and vendors.  The Automated Acquisitions/In-Process Control Systems 
Discussion Group is a discussion group within the Acquisitions Section of ALCTS 
(Association for Library Collections and Technical Services).  The discussion group was 
created to provide an open forum for the discussion of the development and implementation 
of automated acquisitions/in-process control system in libraries, plus issues surrounding their 
use.
 
Our discussion group rotates the Chair position between libraries and vendors.  I am the Vice-
Chair and will begin my one-year Chairmanship after the ALA Annual Conference in June.  
During the June conference we hope to announce a new Vice-Chair who will become Chair 
after the annual conference in June 2008.  The new Vice-Chair will be someone from the 
vendor community.
 
Responsibilities of the Chair include identifying a topic for discussion at the MidWinter and 
Annual Conferences, finding a knowledgeable person(s) to help lead the discussion, request 
a room, necessary equipment, and a meeting time from ALA, promote the meeting to the 
ALCTS membership, moderate the discussion, and submit a report after the meeting.
 
More detailed information on our discussion group can be found here:

If you are interested in being nominated for Vice-Chair during the Annual Conference in June, 
please contact the current Chair, Dan Miller <dan.miller_at_blackwell.com <mailto:dan.miller_at_blackwell.com>  > or me, Marsha 
Garman marsha.garman_at_yale.edu.
