He is an associate professor at Indiana University School of Law-Indianapolis and at the Indiana School of Library and Information Science. As associate dean of the Faculties for Copyright Management and director of Indiana University's Copyright Management Center, Professor Crews brings a rich knowledge of copyright and its relationship to teaching and research activities. The ALA Copyright Education program encourages all librarians to take advantage of this opportunity by subscribing to the Online Copyright Tutorial e-mail list. While some of the members are elected, others are selected by ALA to serve. Flo, who had run before, has been the Chairperson of the video selection committee and had served on the Caldecott committee, was appointed to be on this prestigious committee.
Members serve for one year and can be reappointed.
The committee was made up of librarians, university professors, an author, and a journalist from the San Francisco Chronicle . Flo said that it is unusual for a member to come from a school background. Flo, who read dozens of books in preparation, had picked Bud, Not Buddy when she went to San Antonio. The committee met in a locked room. There were 89 nominations made and discussed.
