Statewide Library Development Commission

Chair: Agnes Griffen, Tucson-Pima Public Library
State Resource: Jane Kolbe, GladysAnn Wells

This blue ribbon Commission will be representative of all types of library and other special collection repositories. The members will advise the State Librarian, Library Extension Division and the History and Archives Division in areas of resource sharing, coordinated collection development, conservation/preservation (see following descriptions) and other areas of interest. The Commission's work will be statewide and will include policy recommendations, implementation and evaluation strategies. The Commission will meet no less than twice a year and work through subcommittees including three statewide task forces on Coordinated Collection Development (Who Collects What?), Resource Sharing (Who Shares Which?) and Conservation/Preservation (Who Saves What?). The first status report is due to the community at Convocation 2000, March 5-6, in Maricopa County.

Membership of the Commission, except otherwise noted, initially shall include one representative and one alternate from each of the following types of libraries:

Membership shall be for three-year, staggered terms, with about one-third changing each year. Initially some members may be asked to serve longer or shorter terms to ensure that only 1/3 of the Commission is lost after the first three-year period. Alternates will be welcomed at all meetings and will receive all correspondence.

Representatives, whenever feasible after the initial appointments, shall be chosen by the librarians in that category type. The Director of the Department of Library, Archives and Public Records reserves the right to appoint members to the Commission initially, or in subsequent years if the types of libraries have difficulty with the appointment process.
