Please consider running for office or nominating a colleague. We encourage
paraprofessionals and librarians from all types of libraries to run,
including those new to the profession or SCTPG. In the past few years SCTPG
has held a number of workshops related to cataloging, metadata and digital
projects, and there are so many other awesome aspects of tech services to
explore. So if you work in acquisitions, serials, digital archives,
materials processing, metadata, authority work, or any other aspect of TS,
we encourage you to get involved! In addition to hosting several events a
year, the SCTPG board meets in person several times per year, and performs
much of its business virtually via conference calls and over email.



Please contact Mary Wahl ([log in to unmask]) by Friday, April 5, 2019 if
you are interested in a position. Also, please feel free to call or email
me directly if you have any questions about the position and duties. We
look forward to hearing from you!


All the best,


SCTPG
