Hello,<br><br>The L-net Advisory Board is seeking new members for a 2 year term, starting in October 2011. <br><br>L-net 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, e-mail or, coming soon, text messaging. L-net also and encourages every library to provide virtual reference services to their community.<br>
<br>The role of the L-net Advisory Board is to set the mission, goals, and direction of L-net, our statewide digital reference service. If you think we are doing something right, or if you think we are doing something wrong, we want to hear from you. 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. <br>
<br>More information about the L-net advisory board can be found at <a href="http://www.oregonlibraries.net/advisory">http://www.oregonlibraries.net/advisory</a><br><br>Meetings are four times a year, at least one in-person, and travel costs can often be reimbursed.<br>
