WOM (Welcoming, Orientation and Mentoring) Subcommittee
WOM, chaired by CAAR member Janet Martorana, included in its membership all CAAR members, plus 3 other librarians, for a total of 7 members. Because there were only 2 recruitments in 2004-2005, most of CAAR members’ committee time involved WOM activities. The complete WOM report is at: http://www.library.ucsb.edu/lauc/womreport0405.html
Various WOM activities were organized, related to each of the WOM functions:
Welcoming: Socials were held.

Mentoring: Various information activities were organized.
Other WOM activities included production of various information web pages.
