  • 1.  Call for Interest Group Chair

    Hello Collection Development Issues for the Practitioner Interest Group,

    I'm a member of the Core Interest Group Coordinating Committee. We are reviewing the Core IGs for this year and it appears that this interest group has no chair for the  2024-25 year. If there is a new chair, please complete the May Report for IGs: https://alacore.org/handbook/interest-groups/report-form/ .   This form will ask for the new Chair when the May report is selected. Without a chair, the group will need to be dissolved.  

    If your group does not have a new Chair for this year, this may be a good time for the group to ask for volunteers to lead the group.  Please let the IG Coordinating Committee know by August 16th of the new chair for your group.  

    Thanks for your help,

    Morag Stewart
    Core Interest Group Coordinating Committee

    Thank you for letting us know, Morag!

    Group, do we have a chair? Is there a documented process for electing a chair?

    Thanks!
