September / October 2011 VOLUME 36 NUMBER 5<br />
SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA CHAPTER<br />
<br />
As the year winds down, I'm looking forward to the holidays, and transitions, and maybe even a bit of rest and relaxation. Well, that last bit probably won't happen any time soon. I'm not a rest-and-relaxation sort of girl, and besides, there's still a few irons in the fire.....<br />

<b>Drea Douglas, Candidate for President-Elect</b><br />
SLA member since: 2004<br />
<br />
Candidate statement: <br />
As secretary, I've spent the last two years taking notes on what other people have been doing for the chapter. I've been lucky to be surrounded by people who have the energy and the initiative to create a better community. Consequently, I believe the time is right for me to … what's the best clichéd metaphor I could use at this moment? "Step up to the plate" will speak to the sports fans, "put skin in the game" gets the political animals, and "join the conversation" might grab the academics. I'll leave it to you to decide which one gets the point across best.<br />
<br />
My vision is to see more involvement on the part of the members. That's right, I'm asking you to vote me in to office so that I may ask you to do even more - what could possibly go wrong? In this case, not much. All I'm talking about is increasing your visibility in the library community by giving you the chance to have a face-to-face meeting with the people you've been emailing for years. This meeting could be a luncheon, a tour of a library, or perhaps a happy hour - seriously, what could go wrong?<br />

I currently work as a Research Librarian for DLA Piper, a global law firm. I worked full time while I finished my MLIS degree with a focus on Legal Informatics and a Graduate Academic Certificate in Advanced Management. I graduated in May 2011 as part of the first graduating class from University of North Texas/Cal State Northridge (UNT/CSUN), a new cohort which started in August 2009. Our graduation ceremony was held on August 27, 2011 and I was honored to be nominated to give the commencement speech. <br />
<br />
Shortly after UNT/CSUN cohort started, I founded the SLA Student Chapter for UNT/CSUN. I served as President from 2009-2011. Almost half of our 50 students are now SLA Student Members. In our first year the UNT/CSUN Student Chapter won the Merit Award for Outstanding Leadership from SLA SAAAC in 2010. In addition, I am the recipient of the following awards and grants:<br />
<br />
SCALL Scholarship Recipient, 2010<br />
AALL & Thomson West / George A. Strait Minority Scholarship Recipient, 2010<br />
AALL Educational Scholarship Recipient, 2010<br />
SLA Travel Grant Recipient, Legal Division, 2010<br />
PLL Travel Grant Recipient, 2010<br />
SCALL Travel Grant Recipient, 2010<br />
TRIPLL Conference Invitee, 2010<br />
RIPS-SIS AALL Grant Recipient, 2011<br />
PLL-SIS AALL Grant Recipient, 2010 and 2011 <br />

Beta Phi Mu Honor Society, 2011 <br />
<br />
Though I am fairly new in librarianship I have enjoyed the camaraderie formed with librarians especially those with our Southern California Chapter of SLA from my involvement as a student member. I would like to be able to continue to stay involved as a Director-at-Large and help increase membership especially amongst newer librarians and library students. <br />

The key factors is the use of technology to provide a service and something that can be replicated by other libraries.<br /><br />A committee of practicing librarians will review all nominations to identify those libraries that are truly offering a best practice or most innovative service. Libraries or library service areas selected will be publicized via the OITP and LITA websites, highlighted through ALA publications, and featured in a program at the ALA Annual Conference in 2012.<br /><br />More information and nomination forms can be found at www.ala.org/ala/aboutala/offices/oitp/cuttingedge/2012.cfmUnknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3970053028805150283.post-51817789740261686882011-10-07T14:12:00.000-07:002011-10-07T14:13:29.015-07:00Academic Library Survey inputThe process is underway to reintegrate the Academic Library Survey (ALS) into the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS) survey, starting with the 2013 data collection year. Initial discussions were held in New Orleans at the annual meeting of the Academic Library Survey Advisory Committee meeting. Tom Weko, Associate Commissioner, Postsecondary Studies Division, National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) provided procedural background information and proposed steps for the reintegration process, comparing data elements in the existing Academic Library Survey with the various IPEDS components. The two main reasons are to improve the quality of the data and decrease the collection burden. <br /><br />In August a two-day Technical Review Panel brought together experts in the field for a comprehensive discussion of existing ALS data elements and the possible inclusion as part of the reintegrated survey. The panel discussed every aspect of the existing ALS, including eligibility requirements, staffing, funding and services. A report from Technical Review Panel #35, Reintegrating the Academic Libraries Survey into IPEDS, is available on the IPEDS TRP Web site: https://edsurveys.rti.org/IPEDS_TRP/Index.aspx <br /><br />The report is open for public comments by October 18, 2011. This is the time to review the proposed changes and submit your responses for consideration.
