NC Live - Committees

Committees

NC LIVE comprises a series of advisory committees that work closely with the NC LIVE staff to assist with the direction and planning of NC LIVE activities. These committees have equal representation from all communities of interest. They determine general governance, the selection and purchase of NC LIVE resources, web site organization and design, publicity efforts, training topics and initiatives, and technical infrastructure. Committee recommendations are passed onto the NC LIVE Librarians Council (LC) & Governing Council for review and action.

There are two voting representatives from each Community of Interest and one NC LIVE ex officio member on each committee (except for the Librarians Council). The committees are:

  • Publicity Advisory Committee (PAC) - advises the NC LIVE Librarians Council on matters relating to advertising, promotion, and communications for NC LIVE.
  • Resource Advisory Committee (RAC) - advises the NC LIVE Librarians Council on the selection of content available to the NC LIVE consortium.
  • Technical Advisory Committee (TAC)- advises the NC LIVE Librarians Council regarding the use of technology for delivering, organizing and accessing NC LIVE content.
  • Training Advisory Committee (TRAC) - is an advisory group that works with State Library staff to plan and implement NC LIVE training for librarians in all participating libraries. In an advisory position, the TRAC is charged with providing systematic and comprehensive training in response to emerging needs. The TRAC will maintain ongoing discussion regarding best methods for providing training and how to incorporate improvements in technology.
  • Web Advisory Committee (WAC) - advises the NC LIVE Librarians Working Group and works in partnership with the NC LIVE server site staff on the design and organization of the NC LIVE Web site. The WAC will ensure a Web presence that is customer-driven and supports reliable and intuitive access to NC LIVE-provided resources, services, and related materials. To enhance usability, the Web Advisory Committee will determine the default settings with NC LIVE's web accessible databases.

Famous quotes containing the word committees:

    “Cry cry what shall I cry?
    The first thing to do is to form the committees:
    The consultative councils, the standing committees, select committees and sub-committees.
    One secretary will do for several committees.”
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)

    “What lies behind facts like these: that so recently one could not have said Scott was not perfect without earning at least sorrowful disapproval; that a year after the Gang of Four were perfect, they were villains; that in the fifties in the United States a nothing-man called McCarthy was able to intimidate and terrorise sane and sensible people, but that in the sixties young people summoned before similar committees simply laughed.”
    —Doris Lessing (b. 1919)

    “When committees gather, each member is necessarily an actor, uncontrollably acting out the part of himself, reading the lines that identify him, asserting his identity.... We are designed, coded, it seems, to place the highest priority on being individuals, and we must do this first, at whatever cost, even if it means disability for the group.”
    —Lewis Thomas (b. 1913)
