CALL FOR CAPC APPLICATIONS
If you are an OLAC member and interested in extending your activities in OLAC, please consider becoming a member or an intern on the Cataloging Policy Committee of OLAC. CAPC members and interns work on projects relating to audiovisual cataloging, provide comments on CC:DA and MARBI proposals that may affect audiovisual cataloging, and give reports at the ALA conferences and OLAC biennial conferences.
Requirements:
Candidates should have three years of current experience cataloging AV materials or equivalent experience. Additionally, candidates should interact regularly with online cataloging systems or have demonstrable knowledge of such systems. Most CAPC business is conducted during ALA Midwinter and Annual Conferences. Candidates for appointment to CAPC must be willing to commit time and funds as necessary to attend these meetings. It is expected that members and interns volunteer for or be willing to be appointed to work on subcommittees, task groups and projects. Appointments are made by the President of OLAC, following consultation and review of applications by the current Executive Board. Regular CAPC members have a two-year appointment that can be renewed for an additional term. Interns have a one-year appointment that is renewable for an additional year. Interns are not automatically guaranteed to go forward as full members.
Consideration and terms:
All applications will be shared with the Executive Board members and a candidate pool will be created. As vacancies occur, candidates will be selected and notified. OLAC members can submit CAPC applications at any time during the year. Please know that, depending on the pool of current and new applications, you may not be selected for CAPC membership during first year after you apply. The terms for new CAPC members and interns take effect following the ALA Annual Conference. If you have any questions, please contact the CAPC Chair.
How to apply:
The application consists of a current resume or vita with an accompanying statement that indicates interest in being a CAPC member or intern and willingness to fulfill the requirements of the positions. Materials can be sent via e-mail (you can attach a Word document or Rich Text file) or in the regular mail to the CAPC Chair at the address listed below.
