RESPONSIBILITIES

 

CRIV Charge

The Committee shall foster positive, constructive and open communication between information vendors and the membership of AALL in matters relating to provision of information in any format.

The Committee shall support ongoing AALL educational initiatives and provide continuing educational opportunities for both AALL members and information vendors.

The Committee shall serve as a forum and resource to provide constructive suggestions to vendors.

The Committee shall foster a cooperative working relationship between librarians and information vendors.

The Committee will select one (1) or more recipients every year for the New Product Award, or no recipient if it deems none of the nominees sufficiently qualified, and will submit the winning recipient's name(s) to the Awards Committee.

The Committee represents the interests of all AALL members, and neither it nor its members will represent or advocate for the benefit of only one publisher or information vendor when acting in their capacity as committee members.

 

CRIV Sheet

The CRIV Sheet is the newsletter of the AALL Committee on Relations with Information Vendors.  It is published three times a year (Nov., Feb., and May), as a supplement inserted in the AALL Spectrum. The deadline for articles is always the last Thursday two months before the issue is due out. The CRIVNotes column is published in those Spectrum issues which do not contain a CRIV Sheet issue. The same deadlines apply.

The CRIV is always looking for writers! Interested writers should contact The CRIV Sheet editor Tracy Thompson at tracy.thompson@yale.edu or Assistant Editor Amy Eaton aeaton@perkinscoie.com .

CRIVSheet Issues are also available in PDF format for downloading using Adobe Acrobat Reader. You can get the Acrobat Reader free from the Adobe website.
