Greetings!

My name is Heather Weltin and I am the new chair of RUSA STARS. I am very excited to spend the next year helping lead STARS towards its objectives. This year we hope to continue to offer educational activities for resource sharing practitioners, along with establishing a venue for communication for all resource sharing practitioners. Whether you are new to STARS or just browsing our site, I encourage you to contact me with ideas and interests you may have. I am sure we have a space for you on one of our committees, and are always looking for new ideas.

Keep checking back for more information!

Sincerely,

Heather Weltin, STARS Chair
