The election of new members to the Program for Cooperative Cataloging Policy Committee (PCC PoCo) will soon be underway.
PCC PoCo includes elected representatives in rotating terms from each of the component programs, BIBCO, CONSER, NACO, and SACO. For this election only two positions are
open: one for a BIBCO representative and one for a CONSER representative. The three-year terms of the 2012 elected members will run from October 1, 2012 to September 30, 2015.
Online voting is open from May 2 to May 31, 2012. The PCC Secretariat uses Ballotbin.com software to email PCC PoCo ballots to eligible voters and to receive back their
votes. Ballotbin emails each voter a registration number to access a ballot that corresponds to the program(s) in which the institution or project participates actively. The voters are directors of full member institutions and funnel coordinators for multi-institution
membership projects. In the CONSER program, only full-level member institutions vote. Please notify the PCC Secretariat ([log in to unmask])
if your full member institution has made a change in director or the director’s email address since May 2011. We hope that our attentive BIBCO and CONSER members will remind and encourage their directors to vote by asking them to watch for email from Ballotbin
with the following subject lines:
CONSER Rep for PCC PoCo 2012
BIBCO Rep for PCC PoCo 2012
BIBCO/CONSER Reps for PCC PoCo 2012
( for institutions in both programs)
In mid-May, the Secretariat will send a reminder message about the election to the voters.
Our thanks to the following four candidates who have agreed to stand for election. More information about each candidate, including a brief resume and statement, is included
with the online ballot and is also at this site:
