  • 1.  Seeking an Incoming Convener for History Librarians Interest Group

    Posted Apr 05, 2023 02:18 PM
    We are looking for someone to join the ACRL History Librarians Interest Group's leadership team beginning in July 2023. The Interest Group needs an Incoming Convener for a three-year term (Incoming Convener/Convener/Past Convener). This is a great professional development opportunity for someone looking to work with other academic history librarians (subject liaisons, archivists, digital scholarship librarians, and more). Join a small leadership team working to develop programs and to facilitate discussions relevant to your fellow history librarians.
    If you are interested, please let me know by Friday, April 14th. Feel free to reach out with any questions!
    Thanks,
    Rebecca Lloyd

    Dear Rebecca,

    My name is Kevin McDowell and I am the subject specialist for History and Japanese Studies at the University of Oregon.  I am considering the possibility of applying for the position of Convener for the History Librarians Interest Group but I would like to know more about what that would entail. Could you give me some information about that?
    Best regards,
    Kevin
