I'm also thinking of starting several advisory committees at my school. I posted a target on this a short while ago, and the only advice I received at that time was not to get parents involved because they will start to feel a sense of ownership, and that will open up a whole can of worms concerning censorship issues and such. I think that perhaps this is an area where we feel some guilt--wanting to involve others which seems the right thing to do, but not wanting to lose control of our domain. In the past when I had to have a parents' advisory council I usually put one together from parents who also happen to be on our faculty. At any rate, you may want to discuss further with your principal how much control he plans to give the members of the advisory committee and how much he will back you up on censorship issues.

Shufflebarger Library at Graham High School Bluefield, Virginia debwaugh@frontiernet.net -----Original Message----- From: School Library Media & Network Communications [mailto:LM_NET@LISTSERV.SYR.EDU] On Behalf Of Robin Boltz Sent: Friday, July 11, 2003 8:21 AM To: LM_NET@LISTSERV.SYR.EDU Subject: TARGET: Starting Adv. Comm. Hello All: My principal has tasked me this year with starting a Media Advisory Committee. I've checked the archives, and the last substantial post about forming such a group was in 1994. So I'd like to pick your brains on the issue. Have you had good luck or bad with a MAC? What are the best/worst things about working by committee? Were the members appointed or volunteers? Could anybody share a list of duties performed by your members? How do you use a MAC to promote your library to the faculty and administration? Does a MAC help to promote teacher/librarian collaboration? Any further things you would like to share that I may have forgotten? Thanks for your help! I'll be happy to post a HIT if others are interested.
