A quick note to let everyone know that DLC is working on finalizing some guidelines for how we can best select council members. Director Vance-Cooks asked us to make the selection criteria and process at the GPO-level more transparent, so we are working on documentation.
The important thing to know now is: YOU are qualified.
We need diverse viewpoints on Council, and that means we need librarians with different backgrounds and levels of experience. Do not assume you must be a "famous" docs librarian or have long experience in a huge depository to be on Council. If you're interested in working with GPO and the community and are committed to the importance of government information in service to our patrons, you are the librarian we need on council!
I am happy to answer questions you may have here or individually (scott.matheson@yale.edu). Any other Council member would also be happy to describe the duties and time commitment involved. Once you're ready to join us, contact Antionette!
Scott
