Nominations Open for Documents Roundtable Chair until June 27, 2008

2008-06-20T15:06:04Z

Hi All,

I speak for everyone in my section when I say that while we are happy
for Anastasia in her new position, we are sorry to lose her from federal
documents. I'm also thankful for the time that she served as chair of
the Documents Roundtable.

Because Anastasia resigned as chair we need a new chair. Because her
unexpired term lasts until March 2010, I think it's best we hold an
election by e-mail. Anastasia ok'd this plan as one of her last acts as
Roundtable chair.

Following the patterns of previous elections, we will have a one week
nomination period followed by a one week election.

Sheri Somerville of the Alaska State Library has accepted nomination as
a candidate for Documents Roundtable Chair. Other Roundtable members are
encouraged to offer other nominations. Just check with the person you
intend to nominate before nominating him or her. I will accept
nominations until 5pm, June 27, 2008. On that date, I will send a second
message to the Roundtable that will have the ballot for chair. Then we
will be able to vote until Monday July 7, 2008 (Friday the 4th is a
holiday.)

Thank you in advance for participating in the process. - Daniel

Resignation as Government Documents Roundtable Chair

2008-06-10T12:51:03Z

Dear Mary Jo and AKLA Governments Roundtable,

I have accepted a position at the State Historical Library as Curator and so will be resigning as Government Documents Roundtable Chair.

During the six months that I served as Chair, my main achievement perhaps was putting up a blog called Information Homestead that I hope will help government documents folks to bridge the physical distances between our depositories.

The blog can be used as a forum for ideas about how to manage, preserve, and promote digital and tangible documents, share news items (such as government documents as wearable art) or questions such whether and why multiple copies of Glenn Brown’s History of the Capitol is arriving at your depository (did you see the post on GOVDOC-L listserv about that?), notices of comments periods, highlight documents and appointments relevant to Alaska, and to post or discuss government documents related resources and tools.

I invite you to take a look at the blog and see pictures of some of our colleagues in Ketchikan: http://informationhomestead.wordpress.com/ and to add content of your own.

Whether by blog, teleconference, listserv or in person, I sincerely hope that our government documents roundtable can realize its potential for working together to continue making government information accessible to the public. We have both young energy and lots of experience and knowledge to draw from that we can share.

Thank you very much for the opportunity to serve the Rountable!

Sincerely,

Anastasia

Hi All,

Does anyone out there have plans to host this upcoming webcast:

http://www.wo.ala.org/districtdispatch/?p=379

Host the Sunshine Week Webcast @ your library!
For the past several years, ALA has participated in a national Sunshine
Week dialogue and webcast on access to government information, organized
by OpenTheGovernment.org. This year's webcast - Government Secrecy:
Censoring Your Right to Know - will take place on Wednesday, March 19,
2008, 1:00 - 2:30pm (EDT), and features a panel on privacy in the
Executive Branch and a panel on how citizens can find the information
they need.

The event will be held at the National Press Club in Washington, DC, and
webcast to sites around the country. Librarians and library advocates:
you are invited to host a program! Audience members at all sites viewing
the live event will have an opportunity to call in (using any telephone)
and email questions to the live panels. Hosts are encouraged to show the
national program and plan local programs tailored to open government
issues in their communities.

More information on the webcast and how to host available at
http://www.openthegovernment.org/article/subarchive/109.

Think about it. - Daniel

RE: Election of Chair

2008-02-21T16:29:02Z

Thanks to John for taking time to oversee the process of installing a
Chair for the next two years. I am glad to take on the job.

I am interested in communicating with other depository library folk
about digital preservation and availability of documents, promotion and
public use, and other issues that apply to government documents. I plan
to set up a meeting, via some format or other, in the near future. Feel
free to contact me about any items you want to address. In the mean
time, we also have a blog on which to post ideas and information, in
addition to our GODORT Web spot. The blog is at
http://informationhomestead.wordpress.com/. Also feel free to post on
the blog. I have been posting what grabs my attention that I am guessing
may be useful to the Gov. Doc.s Roundtable, or that I just have an
interest in and haven't necessarily seen on other government information
sources such as Free Government Information. The purpose of the blog is
to give us another venue for online discussions and information
exchange. Add what you like. Suggest whatever shape you want it to take.
By the way, I seem to have lost the links I put up on the blog, and will
look into putting them back. Does anyone have any suggestions for sites
we ought to link to?

Thanks,
Anastasia

In accordance with Section IV-5 of the AkLA Handbook of Policies and
Procedures, the Chair of the Documents Roundtable serves a two year term
beginning in even numbered years. The election is held just before the annual
business meeting. It is therefore time to begin the election process. I have
agreed to oversee this election.

The current Chair, Anastasia Tarmann Lynch, has indicated an interest in
serving another term. Therefore I place her name in nomination. Additional
nominations are in order and may be placed by contacting me or this listserv.
Nominations will close at noon February 21.

Thank you.
