I know a number of you are involved with ALA too...consider getting involved with GODORT. Kristene Unsworth, PhD Assistant Professor The iSchool at Drexel University Sent from my HTC One? X, an AT&T 4G LTE smartphone ----- Forwarded message ----- From: "Cassandra J Hartnett" To: "GOVDOC-L at LISTS.PSU.EDU" Subject: End of year reflections Date: Mon, Dec 23, 2013 22:09 I am picking up on the points raised by Jim & James. One of the ways to influence direction on many of these themes (e-government services, digital deposit and preservation, fugitive docs, breaking bottlenecks in the flow of information, working in concert with each other) ? is to work through the American Library Association, specifically the Government Documents Roundtable, GODORT. It's not the only way, but it's a way I feel very passionate about. Because the Depository Library Conference was cancelled in October, and because ALA has radically shifted their ballot deadlines from previous years, we do not have the luxury of face to face conversations with all of you as we recruit you to run for offices and keep our vibrant, essential association out in front of these issues. Please, we need your help, most especially in finding our Chair Elect, International Docs Task Force Coordinator (1 yr) *and* Coordinator-Elect (2 yrs), State Docs Coordinator (2 yrs), and new members for 3 committees: Awards, Bylaws & Organization, and Nominating. Register yourself on our ballot by the end of the day on Friday, January 3rd. To register to be a nominee, use ALA's online form at https://www.alavote.org/nomination/2014users.html Select the second option (Divisions/Sections/Round Tables) and then number 64 GODORT. The form is a tad tedious but hang in there until the end. Thanks again for your willingness to serve, Cass Hartnett GODORT Nominations Chair http://wikis.ala.org/godort/index.php/Nominating on behalf of: Barbie Selby bms8z at virginia.edu 434-982-2677 Helen Sheehy hms2 at psu.edu 814-863-1347 John Stevenson john.a.stevenson at gmail.com 302-831-8671 Bill Sudduth sudduthw at mailbox.sc.edu 803-777-1775 (desk) 803-777-4841 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Cass Hartnett, Librarian Government Publications University of Washington Libraries Suzzallo Library-Box 352900 Seattle, WA 98195-2900 TEL: 206.685.3130 FAX: 206.616.6135 cass at uw.edu / www.lib.washington.edu -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
