The Illinois Association of College & Research Libraries Forum (IACRL) is seeking members for its committees. This year we are specifically in need of members to serve on the Awards, Communication, Conference and Continuing Education, and DEI committees and to chair various committees. Serving on a committee is a great way to meet other Illinois academic library workers and donate time to the community.

Committee members are appointed for three-year terms, and the time commitment is around 1-2 hours per month, sometimes less. Chairs are appointed for one-year terms and can expect a time commitment around 2-3 hours per month. The deadline to submit a committee interest form is Friday, June 14, 2024.
