Election results
Since we only had one nominee for each position, this year's elections have been very easy. Here are the results:
Chair: Sara Zettervall
Co-Chair: Helena Kilbride
These positions will last through the end of the winter term in 2012, with our next elections also taking place in winter 2012 for the following academic year.
Now that elections are complete and the constitution has been ratified, we can become an official ALA student chapter. I (Sara) will send these off to the ALA and await our goodies from them!

Elections update
- The nomination deadline has been extended until Monday, just in case folks aren't checking email during the break.
- I don't know if I'm breaching some kind of etiquette by telling you all this, but right now I'm the only person in the running (Sara Z for Chair!). My feelings will not be hurt if someone else wants to run against me, but...
- It would be super awesome if at least one person wants to be Co-Chair! Step right up and email your nom to ala-students@stkate.edu.

Election nominations!
I just sent an email with this information to all members. If you didn't get the email, please let me know ASAP because that means you also won't get the link to vote later on.
It's time to hold our first elections. Per our newly ratified constitution, we will have 2 positions, Chair and Co-Chair. The descriptions of those positions from the constitution are listed below. The term of these positions is through the end of the winter 2012 semester; in winter 2012 we will hold the next round of elections for the following year.
To nominate yourself for a position, please email ala-students@stkate.edu with your name, whether you are running for Chair or Co-Chair, and 2-3 sentences on what you hope to accomplish in the position. If you'd like to nominate someone else, please send their name and which position, and cc them on the email so they can accept or deny the nomination. Please send the nominations byFriday, March 25, 2011 Monday, March 28, 2011.
Our faculty advisor, Sarah Park, will oversee the nomination and election process. Once all the nominations are received, I will create (and she will verify the fairness of) a survey monkey so we can vote online. Each of you will receive an email with your own individual link to vote anonymously, and the link will only work once.
Please feel free to contact me with any questions. We're almost to the point of being an official group!

ARLD Day 2011
ARLD Day 2011: The Everywhere Library
"Last year, Academic and Research Libraries (ARLD) Day was all about getting users into the library building. This year, we’ll look at serving our patrons where they are. We know they work from their computers at home and in their offices, but they’re also increasingly accessing our services and information via mobile devices. What do libraries need to be thinking about? What services are successful? What technologies and metadata are required to make access easy and understandable? Join us on April 29 at ARLD Day 2011: The Everywhere Library to find out."
