Two New Members Elected to OCLC Board of Trustees

From the Announcement:

The OCLC Board of Trustees has elected two new members: Bernadette Gray-Little, Chancellor of the University of Kansas, and John R. Patrick, President of Attitude LLC and former Vice President of Internet Technology at IBM Corporation. The two new members replace board members whose terms have expired.

Dr. Gray-Little replaces Ralph Frasier, Executive Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary (retired), The Huntington National Bank. Mr. Patrick replaces Jane Ryland, President Emerita of CAUSE, the association for managing and using information resources in higher education. The terms of Mr. Frasier and Ms. Ryland expired this year.

"I would like to thank Ralph Frasier and Jane Ryland for their years of dedicated service on the OCLC Board of Trustees," said Larry Alford, Chair, OCLC Board of Trustees and Dean of University Libraries, Temple University. "Their insight, judgment and experience have helped guide and shape OCLC in the pursuit of its public purposes of furthering access to the world's information and reducing library costs. They have been forceful advocates for OCLC's members during the decade they served on the Board. The OCLC cooperative owes them a deep debt of gratitude."

The OCLC Board of Trustees is made up of 15 members. Six trustees are elected by OCLC Global Council. Eight trustees are elected by the Board itself. The President of OCLC also serves on the Board. Nine of the 15 trustees currently serving on the OCLC Board of Trustees are librarians.

You can find biographies of Bernadette Gray-Little and John R. Patrick here.

Wednesday, 23rd May 2012

A lot of the talk around social media in the last year has been around information overload. Social media has provided us with new and exciting ways to create content.

Wednesday, 23rd May 2012

Information overload is a figment of your imagination. Or a failure of your filter. Or a symptom of your technological submissiveness. Depends on who you ask.

Tuesday, 22nd May 2012

What if you had to sort through 3.5 million articles and social media posts a day and try to pull out the most relevant items for your organisation? What if you then had to cobble it all together into something readable for your top groups and executives in your organisation?
