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
<span class="hl">Siebersma</span>, presently South Dakota State Librarian.<br>
<br>
On October 20<sup>th</sup>, 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:
