Fri Oct 7 10:52:04 PDT 2011

As many of you know by now, Jim Scheppke is retiring from his position as State Librarian at the end of December. Recently the screening committee for finding Jim’s replacement selected three finalists. They are Joanne Budler, currently Kansas State Librarian and former Ohio State Librarian; Robert Hulshof-Schmidt, Program Manager, GRS, Oregon State Library; and Daniel Siebersma, presently South Dakota State Librarian.

On October 20th, there will be a public forum during which each of the finalists will be given up to thirty minutes to speak to the stakeholders/customers of the State Library. They will then respond to questions submitted from the audience by the facilitator. This will take place in Hearing Room D at the Oregon State Capitol, and the presentations will be streamed live: http://www.leg.state.or.us/listn/. Then stakeholders/customers are welcome to submit feedback via an electronic survey from 9am to 9pm that day.
