W o u l d you like to volunteer for appointment to an ACRL standing committee or editorial board? Are you interested in being considered for appoint­ ment to a section committee? If the answer is yes to any of these questions, here is what you need to do. ACRL committees ACRL has 21 standing committees to which ap­ pointments may be made: •Academic Library Statistics Committee; •Academic or Research Librarian of the Year Award Committee; •Academic Status Committee; •Appointments and Nominations Committee; •ACRL/AECT Joint Committee; •Audiovisual Committee; •Budget and Finance Committee; •Conference Program Planning Committee; •Constitution and Bylaws Committee; •Copyright Committee; •Doctoral Dissertation Fellowship Committee; •Legislation Committee; •Membership Committee; •National Conference Committee; •Planning Committee; •Professional Association Liaison Committee; •Professional Education Committee; •Publications Committee; •Research Committee; •Samuel Lazerow Fellowship Committee; •Standards and Accreditation Committee. To learn about the areas of responsibility cov­ ered by these committees, see the ALA H andbook o f Organization 1987-88. When selected vacancies occur on A CRL stand­ ing committees, the Appointments and Nomina­ tions Com mittee recommends to the president­ elect of ACRL the names of members who might fill the vacancies. The president-elect makes the fi­ nal appointments. If you are interested in being considered for appointment to an ACRL commit­ tee, you should complete the ACRL Committee Volunteer Form that is included in this issue of C irR L News and mail it to John C. Tyson, chair of the Appointments and Nominations Committee, before December 15, 1987. ACRL section officers A CRL has 14 sections (their names are listed later in this article). You will find a description of their areas of responsibility in the ALA H andbook o f Organization. The chair-elect of a section appoints the chair and m em bers of all section com m ittees 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 “Peo­ ple to Contact” below) before December 15, 1987. Editorial boards A CRL has five editorial boards: •the C hoice Editorial Board; •the C ollege R esearch L ibraries Editorial Board; 564 / C&RL News •th e College & Research Libraries News Edito­ rial Board; • th e Publications in Librarianship Editorial Board; •th e Rare Books & Manuscripts 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, and the president of ACRL makes the appointment. If you would like to be considered for appoint­ ment to an editorial board, contact the editor of the publication (see “People to Contact” below). Remember that at any given time there are only a limited number of vacancies on ACRL’s commit­ tees, 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 commit­ tees, they may recommend your name to the ap­ propriate appointing body when a vacancy occurs.
