MAGIRT committee chair openings

  • 1.  MAGIRT committee chair openings

    Posted Apr 05, 2022 08:47 AM
    There are two open chair positions, Online Presence Oversight Committee Chairperson and Publications Committee Chairperson, if you are interested in either of these opportunities please reach out to a member of the Chair Trio, Min  Zhang (mizh@loc.gov), Kevin Dyke (kdyke@okstate.edu), or Sierra Laddusaw (sladdusaw@tamu.edu). Both of these are a great way to become more involved in MAGIRT! 

    The Online Presence Oversight Committee (OPOC) coordinates and ensures the usability, currency and relevancy of information provided by MAGIRT via all of its online outlets, and maintains a high level of professionalism for MAGIRT's online presence. OPOC oversees and guarantees coordination of content creation by MAGIRT committees, discussion groups, and the general membership.

    The Publications Committee coordinates, edits and produces MAGIRT publications, including but not limited to base line, the Electronic Publication Series, the Print Publication Series, and the MAGIRT Information Brochure. Oversees and executes changes to the MAGIRT website, and serves as intermediary with publishers.

    I am happy to answer questions concerning terms of chairs, workload, etc. You can also read more about the committees and duties of the chairs in our Organizational Manual.
