ALAction 2005
This afternoon, Michael Gorman is going to be at SJSU (specifically, the King Library) to hold a forum "to solicit input and suggestions from SLIS students, alumni, and faculty on what issues and activities we believe ALA should be focusing on to help librarians and communities in the future."
It's connected with a strategic initiative called ALAction 2005.
I had no idea such a thing existed. And I don't know how widespread these forums/fora are. It should be interested to hear what is said this afternoon, and whether or not it gets into the overall policy/vision/strategic goals of the association.
