Fw: MGSA Questionnaire

by Harry Leich

Dear colleagues, Please see email to me below, and attachment. Let me have any suggestions you may have for a library/archives/bibliography question or questions to include on the proposed new MGSA website. It seems they want this information asap, of course, so if you could get back to me by October 25, that would be great. I will collate the responses and get back to _Prof. Doxiades. Please note also that I have retired (effective July 31, 2019) from my position as Area Specialist for Modern Greece and Russia in the European Division of LC. With the Russia part of the job covered by a worthy successor who started in May, I am currently serving, on a volunteer basis, for Modern Greek collection development and public service, until a specialist for Greece can be hired - the process has apparently begun, with a posting expected by the end of the year. Since I am at LC only one day per week, and can access my LC email only on-site, please use my personal email to contact me: hale1652(a)yahoo.com or call/text my cell phone: 202-904-0841 Thanks, best regards to all, Harry ----- Forwarded Message ----- From: Evdoxios Doxiadis <evdoxios_doxiadis(a)sfu.ca>To: hale1652(a)yahoo.com <hale1652(a)yahoo.com>Cc: Evdoxios Doxiadis <evdoxios_doxiadis(a)sfu.ca>Sent: Sunday, October 13, 2019, 7:43:48 PM EDTSubject: MGSA Questionnaire Dear Mr Leich, I believe you were sent by Frank Hess a draft of a questionnaire the MGSA executive board plans to send out to our members for consultation regarding the redesign of the website. If you did not receive it I am attaching it below. As the representative of the MGSA librarians I would appreciate if you had any comments especially since with the redesign some options become available as for instance for the librarian committee to have control/stewardship of a bibliographical section for example. We plan to send out the questionnaire soon so if you have any comments please let me know asap.
