			Call for Participation
				on the 
		   KnowNet Strategic Project Team
		    for the 1996/1997 Access Goal

The Access APT is soliciting expressions of interest for participation on
the KnowNet Project. 

We ask that you consider the priority of strategic project work 
within the Library:

"“It is important to remember that project team assignments become
part of the primary work of the individuals appointed to those projects. 
Project team members and their home teams may need to negotiate ways for
the team to cover some of their current responsibilities so they can
devote an appropriate amount of time to the project."

      ” -- quoted fromSLRP’s email message of June 8, 1996
            re: 1996/97 Annual Plan Project Teams. 

The charge to the KnowNet project team will include the following:

*  Design a subject oriented framework, which will be incorporated into 
existing library web pages, and from which selectors' subject pages will 
be accessed.
*  Coordinate, encourage, train, and support the development of subject 
specialists' home pages that will incorporate resources identified in the 
environmental survey, as well as selected quality Internet resources 
selected, using existing policies. Foster an environment in which, and 
develop a mechanism by which, continued maintenance is valued and performed.
*  Perform an environmental survey of knowledge bases on campus, existing 
in any format, and pass information to selectors for inclusion in their 
home pages, and/or to Project 2 (CatNet) for cataloging.

The Team will be composed of 6 individuals who can collectively 
contribute the following knowledge, skills, abilities, and qualities:

	* Big picture thinking
	* Detail-oriented thinking
	* Knowledge of HTML and web page creation
	* Experience in locating and evaluating web resources
	* Strong interest in training.

Stakeholder Teams:   LIST, FA/H, SET, SST, UST, RAMSC

While we have identified these teams as likely sources of the knowledge,
skills, abilities, and qualities needed for this work, individuals on
other teams may also meet the criteria for team membership.  We encourage
all qualified Library personnel to carefully consider the project, the
nature of the work, what you could bring to the team, and .... volunteer. 

Please submit statements of interest by 5:00 p.m. Wednesday June 19, 1996
