<P><FONT FACE="Verdana">Dear friends of the RBMS Bibliographic Standards Committee,</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT FACE="Verdana">There will be a couple or three vacancies on the Bibliographic Standards Committee for terms starting after annual 2007. I will be leaving the committee, and Randal S. Brandt, Principal Cataloger of the Bancroft Library at Berkeley, has already been appointed to replace me. </FONT></P>
<P><FONT FACE="Verdana">All those wishing to volunteer for a two-year term as Bibliographic Standards member (renewable once at the chair's discretion), either regular or intern, please send me a private email expressing your interest. It should contain a general statement on your background in rare book cataloging, and why you would be interested in becoming a member of Bib Standards. If you happen to have particular interest in any of the BSC activities, such as rule-making, thesaurus work, or helping to develop preconference seminars, I'd be interested in learning that, as well. If you have volunteered in the past, please do so again so that I know you're still interested. </FONT></P>
<P><FONT FACE="Verdana">I will give my recommendations to Christian Dupont, RBMS vice-chair/chair-elect, who will make the appointments sometime in the spring. </FONT></P>
