SHARES Advisory Groups
SHARES Executive Group
The SHARES Executive Group (SEG) represents the interests of all participants in SHARES. It advises OCLC Research and the OCLC Research Library Partnership on long-term planning for SHARES services, identifies needs for new or revised policies for resource-sharing activities, develops ideas for program enhancements and addresses strategic directions.
Eight participants are selected by SHARES members and serve for two years; three of the seats are allotted to museum, law, and non-North American institutions. Every year four new representatives are selected. Read the "SHARES Executive Group Nominations Criteria and Process" and nominate yourself or a colleague to serve as an SEG member.
