  • 1.  LHRT Web Manager needed

    Posted Oct 22, 2024 07:07 AM

    Tech skills NOT NEEDED "there's no coding involved unless someone is feeling ambitious and wants to work in HTML instead of plain text-so the ideal candidate would be someone who has decent writing skills and is diligent about checking pages for outdated information."

    Time commitment per month is a couple of hours per month, depending on how many CFPs there are.

    The LHRT web pages are located on the ALA web site at: https://www.ala.org/lhrt

    The duties of the web manager under the current handbook are as follows:

    • Maintain and update LHRT's web pages and other electronic forums, particularly for time-sensitive information such as officer/committee rosters and conference information.
    • Initiate improvements to LHRT's web pages and other electronic publications.
    • Work with the Executive Committee to assemble materials to be published on LHRT's website and other electronic venues.
    • Consult with ALA staff as needed.

    The term would be for two years from Jan 2025-Dec 2026, and Katie is willing to help transition the new web manager. We hope to appoint a new web manager by the end of November to ensure time for the transition.
