ALCTS e-Forum: The New ALCTS Strategic Plan: Areas of Focus to Strengthen the Association

September 1-2, 2015

Moderated by Norm Medeiros, Vicki Sipe, Mary Page, Andy Hart

Please join us for an e-forum discussion. It’s free and open to everyone!

Registration information is at the end of the message.

Each day, discussion begins and ends at:

Pacific: 7 a.m. – 3 p.m.

Mountain: 8 a.m. – 4 p.m.

Central: 9 a.m. – 5 p.m.

Eastern: 10 a.m. – 6 p.m.

The ALCTS Board of Directors approved a three-year strategic plan at the 2015 ALA Annual Conference in San Francisco.  The new plan, similar in design to its 2011 predecessor, is not meant to encompass the whole of ALCTS activities, but rather those areas where increased focus is needed.  This e-forum, hosted by the ALCTS Executive Committee, will allow attendees to ask questions about the plan, make suggestions for achieving its objectives, and offer ideas for additional areas where strategic focus should be placed.

What Is an e-Forum?

An ALCTS e-forum provides an opportunity for librarians to discuss matters of interest, led by a moderator, through the e-forum discussion list. The e-forum discussion list works like an email listserv: register your email address with the list, and then you will receive messages and communicate with other participants through an email discussion. Most e-forums last two to three days. Registration is necessary to participate, but it's free.
