**Goals, Objectives, Projects completed (including, but
not limited to, any procedures, tip sheets, checklists, etc. created during the
reporting year):
The
objectives of this committee are planing a program during the ALA Annual Conference
and holding monthly NMRT-L listserv discussions.
This year we
held monthly discussion on NMRT-L on 8 topics: The topics includes “I wish I
had know” (Sept.), intellectual freedom and national security (Oct.), library
budget (Nov.), When did you know you want to be a librarian (Dec.), performance
evaluation (Feb.), diversity (Mar.), interview (Apr.), and salary negotiation
(May).
Our annual
program focused on professional development.
We invited two speakers: Elaine Yontz
and Ann Snoeyenbos. They talked about
job hunting for new librarians and work/life balance. 33 people attended the program. The goals and projects of the committee have
been completed this year. Committee
member Penny Scott presented her resource handout on job hunting. RRS also publicized its services during the
annual program.
**Action Items/Issues To Be Resolved – What
plans/projects remain which will be carried over or postponed until next year?
Have there been any substantial changes in plans requiring a reconsideration or
cancellation of projects? Information regarding such will be helpful for future
chairs and planners.
We had hoped
to be able to work with Archive Committee to archive our discussions online in
NMRT's websie, but this has not been accomplished during the committee
year. We hope the new committee chair
and members will consider doing so.
