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 collaborate. 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.
Committees usually meet 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.) Their work during the year is conducted through emails and conference calls. As you will see on the volunteer form, 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, where you will see evidence of the outstanding work done by the many ALL-SIS committees. Our committees are busy advancing the way we do legal research instruction, library marketing, collection development, and faculty services as well as organizing roundtable discussions and programs at the AALL Annual Meetings. We need you to contribute your knowledge and talent as we continue this vital work.
It is simple to volunteer. Just fill out the volunteer form (or fill out the Zoomerang version at www.zoomerang.com/survey.zgi?p=WEB226FKNW6HG3) and send it to me before June 1st. Please rank your preferred committees as indicated.
If you have any questions, please let me know. I look forward to hearing from you. Thanks!
