Publications Committee

HISTORY
A publications committee was formed in 1964, with Ken Carpenter as chair. After 1965, however, the office fell vacant, and was eventually dropped from the list of NLA committees in 1969. In 1972, the committee (at first called the publications board) was reestablished to act as an advisory committee for all NLA publications, although it has attended mostly to the NLA newsletter. In 1977, the committee was organized to share the responsibilities of the editor, so that all the work of publishing the newsletter did not fall on one person. From 1991 to 2007, the individuals serving as publications committee chair also served as the Nevada Libraries editor. In 2003, the webmaster for the Nevada Library Association website www.nevadalibraries.org was added to the Publications Committee. Starting in 2007, three members of the Publications Committee were appointed.
