[Libs-Or] Input on OCLC

[Susan Barnes Whyte]

Do you have feedback you would like to share with OCLC?
Questions about new OCLC initiatives?
Wonder about the changes underway in how OCLC is governed?

This is an exciting time to be involved in this international
cooperative and we want to make sure you know how to participate.

First, please always feel free to write or call your OCLC Western
delegates:
http://www.oclc.org/western/membership/memberscouncil/delegates.htm
We are your colleagues elected to advise OCLC and promote sharing of
information between OCLC and its membership.  More than that, we serve
on the OCLC Global Council, the group that advises the collaborative and
elects some of the members of the board of directors.

Second, please try to attend OCLC Western Members Meetings in your area.
Wherever possible, our goal is to have one or more delegates at each
meeting.  This is also a great time to meet with your colleagues and
OCLC staff.  Times and locations will be linked at this site before too
long: http://www.oclc.org/western/membership/meetings/

Thanks!
