Selection criteria for BIBCO Operations Committee Members

The BIBCO Coordinator appoints members to the BIBCO Operations Committee (OpCo) for rotating three-year terms. OpCo reflects the types and geographic distribution of partner institutions. Candidates generally serve as BIBCO contacts in their home institutions.

These aspects guide the choice of candidates:

• Availability and support from home institution
• Familiarity with operational level of cataloging
• Healthy record contributions
• Provision of informative narratives for the BIBCO Annual Report
• Participation in BIBCO discussions, online and face-to-face
• Range of experience among OpCo reps, to include veterans and new faces

Note: If the individual appointed to the OpCo is unable to serve out the term; the institution may provide a substitute to serve out the term. Otherwise, the BIBCO Coordinator may appoint a substitute from another institution to serve out the term.
