[PL-Directors] Recruitment: Answerland Advisory Board

[Darci Hanning]

Greetings!

I'm forwarding this on behalf of the Answerland Advisory Board, please pardon any duplication. The board is interested in having directors as well as reference staff serve so if you're interested, please read below:

Hello,

Answerland is Oregon's statewide reference service, allowing everyone who lives, works and goes to school in Oregon the chance to connect with a librarian by live chat, email or text messaging. Answerland also encourages every library to provide virtual reference services to their community.

The Answerland Advisory Board is seeking new members for a 2 year term, starting in Fall 2014.

The role of the Answerland Advisory Board is to set the mission, goals, and direction of Answerland, our statewide digital reference service. The board strives for broad representation geographically and by type and size of library. Advisors can come from any Oregon library or related organization and have included library directors, volunteers and every role in a library in between.

As you may know, Answerland is in a time of major transition, and now, more than ever, needs enthusiastic and committed leaders to guide the service into the future. Important work will need to be done over the coming year, and beyond, as we seek to transition the service to a sustainable funding model and a new fiscal agent. Now is the time to get involved and help re-shape Answerland and ensure the future of Oregon's statewide virtual reference service!

More information about the advisory board can be found at:
http://www.answerland.org/advisory-board

Meetings are four times a year, at least one in-person, and travel costs can often be reimbursed.

If you are interested in serving on the Answerland Advisory Board, send an email by July 8, 2014 to: Jenny Pedersen, jenniferp at deschuteslibrary.org<mailto:jenniferp at deschuteslibrary.org>

Please describe in about 300 words why you want to be a member of the Answerland Advisory Board. The current board will review applications and decide on new membership.
