Everyone –

It is the time of year when we begin the election process for the SWAN Circulation Advisory Committee.  The Committee is composed of 11 representatives from SWAN libraries and chaired by myself.   This year we have 5 people whose terms are up in November.  

The election process is very simple.   Any Circulation Manager/Supervisor  or a person with oversight of the Circulation department may throw their hat in the ring (self-nominate).   Everyone that submits a self-nomination form is included on the election ballot.   All we ask is that you submit a few words in support of your nomination, basically why you want to serve on the Committee and what you see as your contribution to the Committee (what you bring to the table).  Your statement in support of your self-nomination will be shared in the election ballot.   All this is done using a survey.  It only takes a few minutes to self-nominate.  

Things you need to know about the SWAN Circ Advisory Committee :  we meet 6 times a year (every two months), we publish our agenda a week before our meetings, our meetings are open to all. Obviously, we discuss circulation policies and procedures and are known to make recommendations to the SWAN Board upon request.   

The current Committee members with terms ending in 2016 are : Mary Moss (EPS), Jessica Nawrocki (FRS), Roberta Richter (LPS), Brittany Smith (WMS) and Tori Tracy (PCS).  These individuals may or may not choose to run again.

The self-nomination form will be open on Friday, October 7th.  The form is available here:  https://fs8.formsite.com/SWANServices/Circ-Adv-Nomination-16/index.html  .  Nominations close on Friday, October 21st at Noon.

Please consider joining the Committee.   We would love to hear from fresh voices with new insights and perspectives.
