State Library of Ohio is pleased to announce the State Board of Education of Ohio recently appointed Janet Carleton to the State Library Board. Janet has 24 years of library experience, including more than 20 years at Ohio University Libraries, and extensive
knowledge of librarianship in special collections and digitization. Since 2005, Janet has been the Digital Initiatives Coordinator for Ohio University Libraries, where she is responsible for digitization, digital preservation, and social media promotion of
the Libraries’ unique resources. Her career at Ohio University Libraries began in 1998 at the Mahn Center for Archives & Special Collections as a Scripps Project Reformatting Archivist and continued in 2000 as Digital Projects Librarian.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Century Gothic",sans-serif">The State Library of Ohio is governed by a five-member board whose members are appointed to five-year terms or to complete an unexpired term, by the State Board of Education.
Under the Ohio Revised Code, section 3375.01, members of the Board cannot be recent members of the State Board of Education and cannot serve on the Board of Trustees of any other library while on the State Library Board. When a position becomes available
on the Board, the State Library Board sends out a call for nominations to the Ohio Library Community and then forwards two recommendations to the State Board of Education for their consideration.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
