Dear Colleagues
I am posting this message on behalf of Elizabeth (Libby) Tilley whose
details are at the end of this message. Replies/questions should be sent
to her or to Anita Oser but if you do send messages to the list I will
make sure that they get forwarded.
I know that Libby has found her involvement in IFLA -
http://www.ifla.org/VII/s6/index.htm - to be very rewarding so do
consider putting your name forward.
Anne
IFLA Geography and Map Libraries Section
You may like to consider whether you can help out with the Geography and
Map Libraries Section of IFLA. Despite record attendance at the planned
session at Quebec this August, the future of the section is in some
jeopardy as the Standing Committee needs more members.
Next year, 2009, is an election year for IFLA. This means that each
Section has to elect a Chair and a Secretary/Treasurer at the annual
conference in Milan, August 23-27, and has to have at least ten (10)
members appointed to its Standing Committee by February 2009.
For the Geography and Map Libraries Section this means we have to have:
1. At least nine (9) members nominated to the Standing Committee, and
2. Someone who is willing to serve as Chair and someone who is
willing to serve as Secretary/Treasurer for the following two years
(2009-2011).
Your cooperation in this matter is very important. If we do not meet
IFLA's minimum requirements, IFLA will give us three options:
(1) to disband the Geography and Map Libraries Section,
(2) to merge with another Section, or
(3) to become a Special Interest Group under another Section.
If you are interested in becoming a member of the standing committee and
would like more information please contact either:
Anita Oser, Chair of section [log in to unmask]
Elizabeth Tilley, Secretary of section [log in to unmask]
Thank you.
