[SOA] State Library of Ohio seeking nominations for Board

Fri Oct 17 13:56:15 EDT 2014

Note a SLO top goal is to "support digitization efforts." Would be great to have an archivist or digitization person step up for the Board. :)

Subject: [Ohlib] State Library of Ohio is seeking nominations for appointment to the State Library Board

Please excuse multiple postings...
The State Library of Ohio is seeking nominations for appointment to the State Library Board. Mr. Stephen Wood of Lyndhurst resigned from the Board effective October 31, 2014. The successful appointee will complete the current term beginning with the January 18, 2015 meeting and ending December 31, 2018.
The nominated candidate should have experience in at least one of the following areas:

 *   As a board member or an employee of a public organization or institution
 *   As a board member or former employee of a school, public, academic or specialized library.
 *   In the development of equal access to information for all Ohio residents.
 *   Changing technologies and their impact on libraries.
The State Library Board consists of five members appointed by the State Board of Education.  The Board ordinarily meets in January then monthly March through July, including a two-day retreat in April, and again in September, October and December.  For information on the specific powers and duties of the State Library Board, please see  Section 3375.01 of the Ohio Revised Code.  The Board will evaluate candidates' diversity, geographic locations, and relevant experience and then select three names to be considered for appointment by the State Board of Education.
Current State Library Board members are:
John Myles, President, of Wauseon (term ends 12/31/2015)
Jennifer McKell, of Chillicothe (term ends 12/31/2016)
Krista Taracuk, of Columbus (term ends 12/31/17)
Melissa Hendon Deters, of Mason (term ends 12/31/2019)
Current or past board members or former employees of school, public, academic or special libraries will be given first consideration for nomination. However, it should be noted that a person cannot serve on a public library board and on the State Library Board concurrently.
The State Library Board has identified the following top strategic goals for the agency:
Goal 1: Support digitization efforts to widen access to the State Library of Ohio's collection and increase resource sharing throughout the state
Goal 2: Position the State Library of Ohio to state government as the preferred channel for information
Goal 3: Brand the State Library of Ohio to reflect its promise to stakeholders for "A Smarter Ohio"
Goal 4: Expand access to resources in cost efficient ways through electronic channels
Goal 5: Lead innovation and development efforts for libraries to ensure ongoing relevance to communities across Ohio
