<div dir="ltr"><div>Just one more week to join the Answerland Advisory Board! </div><div><br></div><div>TheĀ boardĀ is seeking new members for a 2 year term, starting
in Fall 2014.<br><br>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.</div><div><br></div><div>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!<br><br>More
