a. Web Support (help with webpage creation, web form creation, web database, web database, scripting, etc):
Last
year, the committee designed and maintained a program web site (http://www7.tamu-commerce.edu/libref/nmrt/2002index.htm). We don't need any assistance with designing
or maintaining this year's site; however, if the Web Committee has any
guidelines or requirements for committee pages, we would like to have those.
b. On-site conference volunteers: (include estimated numbers needed and brief job description)
We anticipate needing four volunteers (the committee membership) to assist with setting up the room for the program, moderating the panel discussion, assisting the speakers as needed, distributing handouts, conducting the follow-up survey at the end of the program, and cleaning up the room afterward.
c. Publicity planned for the committee (posting to other discussion lists, official press release for webpage, etc.):
The
committee will publicize the program on online discussion lists and in NMRT
publications, such as Footnotes and Cognotes.
