3. What kind of interaction
have you had with your committees thus far this year? What support have you
been able to provide them? I have been in touch with most of
my committee chairs fairly regularly. I have maintained weekly contact with
several chairs and have been able to answer questions and give advice as
needed. The chairs of the awards committees relied on my guidance and had
several questions throughout the process of publicizing the grants and
selecting the recipients. I also worked closely with the chair of the Online
Forum and offered advice and support when needed. I have been in monthly
contact with the chairs of the Annual Meeting committee and Scholarship,
Writing and Research. I helped the Annual Meeting committee recruit speakers
for their program at Annual.
The Olofson Memorial Award committee was able to
choose the award recipient working completely via email and made their
selection before Midwinter. The 3M committee selected their grant recipients at
a closed meeting at Midwinter and recently announced the names of the recipients
on nmrt-l. The Online Forum committee has held monthly
online discussions since November. They are being archived on the committee's
web site accessible from: http://www.ala.org/ala/nmrt/comm/
Discussions will continue through March and/or April. We have discussed the possibility
of providing a pre-Annual discussion. The Annual Meeting committee has lined up
a great group of speakers for its program titled: Leadership
through Publication: Making Difference with Scholarship.
Speakers will be: Deanna Marcum from the Library of Congress, Hannelore Rader from
