ACRL News Issue (B) of College & Research Libraries 299 A CRL Seeks V o lu n teers fo r Offices a n d Com m ittees 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 appointm ent to a section com m ittee? If the answer is yes to either of these questions, here’s how to proceed. ACRL President The ACRL Appointments and Nominations Committee will nominate candidates for the office of ACRL vice-president/president-elect at the February 1981 Midwinter meeting of ALA. The election for this office will be held in the spring of 1982. The winner of the election will serve as vice-president/president-elect during 1982-83 and as president of ACRL during 1983-84. 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 Appoint­ ments and Nominations Committee, Keith M. Cottam, 1211 General MacArthur D r., Brent­ wood, TN 37027. ACRL Committees ACRL has eighteen standing and ad hoc com­ mittees:'Academic or Research Librarian of the Year Award Committee, Academic Status Com­ mittee, Appointments and Nominations Commit­ tee, Audiovisual Committee, Budget and Finance Committee, C haptersC om m ittee, Conference Program Planning Committee, Constitution and Bylaws Committee, Continuing Education Com­ mittee, ^Copyright Committee (ad hoc), Jdégisla- tion C om m ittee, ›f e m b e rs h ip C om m ittee, --National Conference Committee, Planning Com­ mittee, Publications Committee, Standards and Accreditation Committee, Standards and Accred*- itatLon .Committee— Standards fa r College L i­ braries Revision Subcom m itiee(acLhoe), and Supplemental Funds Committee. To learn about the areas of responsibility covered by these com­ mittees, see the ALA Handbook o f Organization, 1980-81. When scheduled vacancies occur on ACRL standing com m ittees, the A ppointm ents and Nominations C om m ittee recom m ends to the president-elect of ACRL the names of members who might fill the vacancies. The president-elect makes the final appointm ents. If you are in­ terested in being considered for appointment to an ACRL committee, you should complete the ACRL Committee Volunteer Form that is in­ cluded in this issue of C‹LrRL News and mail it to Keith M. Cottam, chair of the Appointments and Nominations Committee, before January 1, 1981. ACRL Section Offices ACRL has thirteen sections (their names are listed later in this article). You will find a descrip­ tion of their areas of responsibility in the ALA Handbook o f Organization. Each section has an executive committee and a nominating commit­ tee. The nominating committee nominates per­ sons to run for the elective offices of the section. The major offices of a section are the chair and vice-chair/chair-elect. Some sections also elect secretaries and members-at-large to the section executive committee. If you would like to run for the office of vice-chair/chair-elect of a section or for secretary or member-at-large, contact the chair or a member of the appropriate section nominating committee (see “People to Contact,” below), before January 1, 1981. ACRL Section Committees The committees of ACRL sections offer a vari­ ety of opportunities for service to the division. The Community and Junior College Libraries Section alone has ten committees. For a complete listing of ACRL section committees, see the ALA Handbook o f 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 appoint­ ment 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, 1981. E ditorial Boards ACRL has five editorial boards: the Choice Editorial Board, the College & Research Librar­ ies Editorial Board, the College 6- Research Li­ braries News E ditorial Board, the N onprint Media Publications Editorial Board, and the Pub­ lications 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 C om m ittee 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 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 300 committees, sections, and boards. If at once 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.
