Communications
The Communications Department will produce print publications, online publications, reprints, back issues, web sites, and email services.
Communications Committee
The Communications Committee is composed of the Editor-in-Chief, the chairmen of other committees assigned to the Communications Department, such members as he sees fit, and the President and Consuls as ex officio members.
The Editor-in-Chief is named by the President and serves at his pleasure. The members are named by the Editor-in-Chief, and serve at his pleasure.
All activities of the Communications Department fall under the control of this Committee unless the Board or Editor-in-Chief has created another Committee and charged them with responsibility.
Augustæum
Augustæum is the members newsletter. By definition, it carries items that are not of enduring value, which should be sent to the Omnibus instead. It is intended to be published more frequently than the Omnibus, but may be mailed with it.
Presently, the frequency is bi-monthly, and the size is normally 4 pages, though occasionally 6 pages are printed. It is often accompanied by flyers, notices, and other publications, such as the Rose Newsletter.
Regular features include:
- Announcements of new members, elections, appointments, honors, arms registrations, and recognitions.
- "Library Top Ten", a list of ten items from the Library catalog that one member feels are of interest.
- News of conventions, meetings, publications, fundraisers, and other programs
- Help Wanted — an item advertising a particular post, not to be repeated for the following year plus one issue. (Thus a January notice in one year would not be repeated until March of the following year.)
- Lists of donors to various campaigns, members of Sub-Groups, or senior members
- If four pages are not filled, an Editorial.
Proposal #24: The Society should work toward publishing a members newsletter on a monthly schedule, presuming sufficient funding and material are available.
Proposal #25: The Society should conduct a survey to test the level of interest in publishing the members newsletter electronically, and a decision made about the value of devoting the time needed to reformat (versus publishing as a PDF file).
