The ALCTS Creative Ideas in Technical Services Interest Group is seeking an interested individual to serve as vice chair. The CITS IG provides a forum for discussion of issues within the field of technical services which are relevant to library staff at all levels, particularly those issues relating to the evolution of technical services as it affects and is affected by technology and greater interdependency among all library departments. It usually organizes an event at both ALA Midwinter and Annual Conference.
The vice chair would work closely with the 2013-2014 chair (Lynn Fields) for the first year and would then serve as chair in the second year (2014-2015). The term starts immediately following ALA Annual Conference 2013 (Chicago). The chair and vice-chair are responsible for planning discussion group meetings at ALA Midwinter and Annual Conference. This includes submitting meeting proposals, identifying topics, selecting recorders/facilitators, writing up reports, etc. More information about the Interest Group can be found on the ALA website at http://www.ala.org/alcts/mgrps/ig/ats-dgcreat.
