[Web4lib] WebJunction seeks Technology Watch committee members

[Anderson,Joe]

Please excuse cross-postings

--------------------------

WebJunction.org, an online community for library staff, is looking for
additional members for its Technology Watch Committee.

The committee meets quarterly to discuss technology trends, with
particular attention to what small libraries should be thinking about.
We publish a quarterly "Technology Watch List for Small Libraries" (the
latest edition is at http://webjunction.org/do/DisplayContent?id=7769),
and committee members regularly contribute articles exploring items on
the list in more detail (though contributions are not required for
membership).

The Watch List and articles based on it are prominently featured on
WebJunction and are regularly among our most popular articles.

More information about the committee and a list of its current members
is available at http://webjunction.org/do/DisplayContent?id=7755.

We would like to expand the committee from its current seven members to
a group of 10-12. We are particularly interested in candidates who work
in small libraries, or who regularly work with small libraries as
library consultants. 

Committee members agree to:
1. Participate in quarterly phone conferences.
2. Participate in discussions on the committee's message board on
WebJunction.
3. Provide input to feedback on the Technology Watch list and other
articles created by the committee.
4. Writing articles about Technology Watch list items is not required
for membership, but members are invited to participate in this way if
they wish.

If you'd like to be considered for membership, please send an email to
content at webjunction.org with the following information:
1. A brief description of your background and experience with library
technology, especially regarding new technology and small libraries.
2. A paragraph or two explaining why you're interested in participating
in the committee.
3. A few comments about what additions or changes you would make to the
current Technology Watch list.

Feel free to pass this notice along to others who might be interested!

Thank you, and best regards,

The WebJunction Technology Watch Committee
