FROM THE PRESIDENT
Steven Miller
Greetings, OLAC members.
As winter turns to spring, the good work of OLAC continues, as always.
The Cataloging Policy Committee (CAPC) has a number of Task Forces with work in progress. OLAC members will also have opportunities to comment on Chapter 3 of the RDA draft.
As announced at the OLAC Conference, a new OLAC brochure has been developed. For those who are teaching workshops, please consider distributing OLAC brochures there, or in any other relevant venue. Not only do they provide good overall information about OLAC, they are a potential way to recruit new members to OLAC, which is something we are really interested in doing. Contact Outreach Coordinator Debbie Benrubi for information on the brochures.
It is time again for the election of new OLAC officers; this time it is for OLAC Vice President/President Elect and Treasurer. The voting process is being modernized, too; OLAC is following the lead of ALA and many other organizations in moving to electronic voting this year.
The OLAC Executive Board will be creating a Working Group to update the OLAC Website, starting in Summer 2007. Among other things, the group will explore the use of wiki technology for OLAC information. The group will consist of five members. Two positions yet need to be filled. We are looking for volunteers with Web design and/or Web/wiki technology knowledge and experience to bring to the mix. If interested, please contact me at <mll@uwm.edu>.
This short column reflects some of the continuing work and new developments within our organization. I hope many of you will be inspired to take part in new or ongoing projects.
