<p class="MsoNormal">Greetings!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">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:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in">Hello,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in">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.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in">The Answerland Advisory Board is seeking new members for a 2 year term, starting in
<b>Fall 2014</b>.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in">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.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in">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!
<o:p></o:p></p>
