The time to lead: ACRL seeks nominees for section offices

C&RL News, April 2004
Vol. 65, No. 4

Running for an ACRL section office is the perfect opportunity to become involved with important issues that affect academic and research librarians in the 21st century. 

Past candidates for office accepted the offer to run in order to give something back to the sections that provide them with a prominent outlet for resources and involvement in academic librarianship.

“I believe that ACRL sections reflect the wonderful richness and depth of academic librarianship,” said Barbara Jenkins, head of reference and research services at the University of Oregon, a candidate for member-at-large of ULS in the 2003 election.

ACRL section officers
Candidates for vice-chair/chair elect of ACRL sections are selected by the Nominating Committee of each section. If you would like to nominate someone or be nominated yourself, contact the chair of the Nominating Committee for the appropriate section prior to the ALA Annual Conference in Orlando.

Other section officers, including secretary and member-at-large, may also be under consideration for this term of office, which will begin in the summer of 2004.
