ARC interest groups
ARC supports the programs and activities of Interest Groups of staff members from member institutions as a vehicle for increasing cooperation among ARC members. Interest Groups come together for discussion and professional development on topics of mutual interest.
Current interest groups with officers and Director Advocates:
Collection Management
Chair - Nancy Singleton, College of the Holy Cross
Director Advocate - Dawn Thistle
Reference and Information Literacy
Chair - Christine Drew, WPI
Director Advocate - Bob Foley
Customer Service
Chair - Matthew Haggard, Nichols College
Director Advocate - Jim Douglas
Archives and Special Collections
Chair - Rodney Obien, WPI;
ARC Steering Committee Representative: Mott Linn
Director Advocate: Debby Aframe
Additional Interest Groups may be formed at the request of any five staff members with approval of the Steering Committee.
Interest group membership
Interest Group membership is open to any interested party from any ARC library. CMRLS members who are not ARC members are also invited to participate, as appropriate.
Because of the cross-functional nature of the Interest Groups, it is expected that members may move from one Interest Group to another, depending on projects, programs and individual interests. Communication will take place on ARC-L, and any reports will be made available on a blog provided through the ARC website at http://arccommittees.blogspot.com
