The ALCTS CCS (Cataloging and Classification Section) Cataloging and Classification Research Interest Group is looking for an interested individual to serve as vice chair. The IG provides a showcase for viewing and discussing the latest research projects in the organization and retrieval of information, and usually organizes an event at both ALA Midwinter and Annual Conference where participants can present research in the area of cataloging or classification. More information about the Interest Group and CCS can be found on the ALA website at http://www.ala.org/ala/mgrps/divs/alcts/mgrps/ccs/index.cfm.
The vice chair would work closely with the 2011-12 chair (Susan Massey) for the first year and would then serve as chair in the second year (2012-13). The term starts immediately following ALA Annual in June. The appointed individual must be an ALCTS member. The main work of the vice-chair and chair is to plan and lead the programs for the ALA Midwinter and Annual Conference IG events.
If interested please contact Susan Massey at susan.massey@unf.edu and/or Sherab Chen at chen.1140@osu.edu with a brief statement of your interest and any previous conference program experience by June 3.
