ARLIS/UK & Ireland has two vacancies for key (voluntary) roles that involve working as part of our Publications Committee. The closing date for applications has been extended by a week to Friday 12th June.

1. News-sheet Co-editor

The successful candidate will replace Tim Pate (who has recently moved to Canada) and join Catherine Sheridan, the existing co-editor.

The ARLIS/UK & Ireland News-sheet acts as the forum of communication between ARLIS members. Its purpose is to disseminate news, publicise ARLIS events and publications and provide a platform for members to publish reports and articles on their activities, study visits, etc.

The two co-editors work very closely together. Their role is to work with the Publications Committee to develop the editorial policy and design of the News-sheet, liaise with contributors, compile and edit six issues of the ARLIS/UK & Ireland News-sheet a year.

2. Website Editor

This revised role has emerged as a result of the launch of the new ARLIS website in 2008.

The primary purpose of the ARLIS/UK & Ireland Web site is to disseminate news to and about members, publicise ARLIS/UK & Ireland activities, events and publications and support the work of our Committees and the administration of the Society.

The Website Editor will be a member of the Publications Committee and will be responsible for maintaining overall editorial control of the content of the website and liaising with VADS (the website hosts) over the technical issues relating to the website. Experience of website design and development is important to this role.
