Dear ALCTS leaders-

I am happy to announce that LITA accepted the ALCTS proposal for membership and composition of the ALCTS-LITA Metadata Standards Committee; thank you to LITA President Zoe Stewart-Marshall for her help in this endeavor.  ALCTS and LITA are now working together on the logistics of launching the joint committee.  LITA is identifying its members.  RUSA plans to send the name of its voting liaison member soon.  Agenda items for the new group are surfacing.


Thank you to all of you who sent nominations or who volunteered to serve as ALCTS members on the new joint committee.  What a remarkable group of individuals!  We could easily fill two entire committees with great people from this pool of candidates.  But as you remember from our proposal, ALCTS gets just four slots, including a co-chair.  I hope those who were not appointed this round will consider volunteering for this committee or others in future.

The initial ALCTS members of the ALCTS-LITA Metadata Standards Committee are
Jenn Riley, Head, Carolina Digital Library and Archives, The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (co-chair).
Kevin Clair, Metadata Librarian, Pennsylvania State University Libraries.
Bonnie Parks, Technology & Catalog Librarian, W.W. Clark Memorial Library, University of Portland.
Amy Rudersdorf, Director, Digital Information Management Program, State Library of North Carolina.


While continuing many of the best traditions of ALCTS, the new Metadata Standards Committee will enable us to contribute in new ways to the developing information environment.  I am excited about the possibilities.

Again, my thanks to all of you who participated in this process.  ALCTS is fortunate in its members.  Please join me in congratulating the members of this new committee, and in thanking them for their willingness to serve.

Warm regards,
Carolynne Myall
ALCTS President 2012/13
