[Libs-Or] Looking for suggestions for nominations to the LSTA Advisory Council

[Ann Reed]

The Oregon State Library is now accepting suggestions for nominations to the Library Services and Technology Act Advisory Council!  Go to: http://library.state.or.us/services/surveys/survey.php?sid=169 to make as many suggestions of good candidates as you desire.  Feel free to suggest yourself!  The deadline is November 2.

Oregon receives a little over $2 million in federal dollars each year through the LSTA state program of the Institute of Museum and Library Services.  The LSTA Council reviews grant applications for the competitive grant program, and reviews funding for statewide programs.  Statewide programs include sponsorship of the Summer Reading Collaborative materials, the Focus on Youth biennial institute, the Plinkit Website project, L-Net reference service, OSLIS web portal, statewide database licensing subsidy, and more!

Its a great group of professionals, and a way to get a great overview of library services in Oregon.  See our website for more information: http://www.oregon.gov/OSL/LD/grantmainalt.shtml

We are looking for suggestions for:
School Library Representative (1 position)
Disadvantaged Persons Representative (1 position)*
Library User Representatives (3 positions)

Contact Ann Reed at 503-378-5027 or ann.reed at state.or.us with any questions you might have.

*Please note that the representative does not need to be disadvantaged himself or herself.  The Library Services and Technology Act defines disadvantaged as people with disabilities, or with limited functional literacy or information skills; or people from families with incomes below the poverty line.
