OCLC EMEA 地區地方理事會

A message from Robin Green

Greetings to all OCLC Members and customers in the EMEA Region, and welcome to the EMEA Regional Council Web site.

We are now in the third year since the new structure of a Global Council supported by three Regional Councils was introduced to respond to the increasingly global nature of the OCLC cooperative.

This new structure brings the cooperative into the Regions. The Delegates to Global Council elected by OCLC Members in each Region represent Members by bringing their questions, issues and suggestions around the cooperative directly to OCLC's Strategic Leadership Team and Board of Trustees.

This means that every OCLC Member now has the means to change the cooperative - and so Membership Matters! is the name of our multi-year Plan to develop the still very young EMEA Regional Council.

The focus this year for me and the other Regional Council Executive Committee members is 'Reaching Out'. This reflects our intent to improve communication with Members and increase understanding of the OCLC cooperative within the Region.

Further information can be found on these pages about the Regional Council, its Executive Committee, and how to contact your Delegates. Please take the time to find out who we are, and do contact us if you would like to talk about Regional matters or the OCLC cooperative more broadly!

—Robin Green, Chair, EMEA Regional Council

歐洲、中東及非洲地區地方理事會 (EMEARC) 對該地域所有的 OCLC 客戶、會員、合作夥伴與批發商開放。OCLC 會員在 EMEARC 內扮演特殊的角色，因爲他們有資格投票選出 EMEARC 委員會，以及代表區域參與全球理事會的代表。

EMEARC 有兩個常設委員會：執行委員會與提名委員會。

執行委員會每年至少規劃一次面對面的 EMEARC 會議。此會議每年在不同的國家舉行。OCLC 執行長與總裁、OCLC 策略領導團隊成員、EMEA 董事會與 OCLC 董事都會參與 EMEARC 會議。EMEARC 會議的設計是提供一個論壇來討論該區域的重要議題，以及全球理事會議程上的主題。上述所有的 EMEARC 皆為雙向管道，可向 OCLC 提出其策略方向的建議；針對有關合作創議中服務發展與分享資訊、最佳做法與 OCLC 最新研究與開發成果提出意見。

區域內任何對於加入 EMEARC 委員會或參選角逐全球理事會代表有興趣的 OCLC 客戶，均可將其意向書寄到 EMEA 地區OCLC 社群聯絡人 Janet Lees。
