The Blog Editor position of the ACRL DVC Board is now open!
I, Megan Donnelly, previously Research Librarian/Instructor at Millersville University, have filled the position for the past year. I am leaving the position because I accepted the position of Teaching and Outreach Librarian at the Claremont Colleges Services, located in Claremont, CA. As an early career librarian, serving on this board not only looked great on my resume while I was interviewing but this experience also gave me an opportunity to network with other librarians in the region. I was able to meet new librarians and learn about their institutions while also building an understanding of how serving on a board works. I was also able to use my blogging experience on the board to publish a guest post for the ACRLog’s FYAL (First Year Academic Librarian) Series. Serving on the board has been a great experience for me and I highly recommend getting involved with ACRL DVC.
The Blog Editor attends virtual monthly board meetings and one in-person meeting per year and writes blog posts that advertise and recap chapter events and programs, present meeting minutes, and explore other areas of interest to librarians. This position also posts to Twitter and live Tweets from programs.
