ALL-SIS members, please consider serving on an ALL-SIS committee during the coming year.
Serving on an ALL-SIS committee is a wonderful way to meet other academic law librarians and to contribute to your profession. It is also a great opportunity for veteran librarians and newer members of our profession to work together. Committee members typically serve on a committee for one year. Occasionally, committee members are appointed for a second year to work on long-term projects or to serve as committee chairs.
Each committee usually meets during the AALL Annual Meeting to plan activities for the coming year. (Please consider volunteering, even if you are unable to attend the AALL meeting.) Committees do their work during the year through emails and conference calls. As you will see on the volunteer form below, ALL-SIS has a wide range of standing committees. To learn more about the work of these committees, please see the ALL-SIS Web site at www.aallnet.org/sis/allsis. There, you will see evidence of the outstanding work done by many ALL-SIS committees (e.g., advancing legal research instruction, marketing, collection development, relations with vendors, and organizing roundtable discussions/programs at the AALL Annual Meetings).
It is simple to volunteer. Just fill out the volunteer form and send it to me before June 12th. Please rank your preferred committees. I will try very hard to match your preferences. If you have any question, please let me know.
Thanks!
Suzanne Thorpe
