The group met 1 time this quarter.
Recent Activities
First Activity
The LITA Communications & Marketing Committee migrated our documentation and training materials to the new ALA Connect site to centralize the committee's documentation and to give members a one-stop resource for everything CAM related.
Meets LITA’s strategic goals for Organizational Stability and Sustainability
Second Activity
The Communications & Marketing committee worked closely with Jenny Levine, LITA Executive Director, to migrate the committee's promotion request form from Jotform.com to Lita.org, giving the form more legitimacy and better branding it as an organizational tool. The form was then shared with LITA's leadership via an ALA Connect post.

Third Activity
The Communications & Marketing Committee collaborated with the Membership Development Committee to plan a #LITAchat in October to promote the upcoming LITA Forum on Twitter. The live chat will give LITA members an opportunity to learn more and ask questions about the 2019 LITA Forum.
Meets LITA’s strategic goals for Member Engagement
What will your group be working on for the next three months?
The Communications & Marketing Committee will continue to post to LITA's social media channels to promote events, workshops, courses, and other news of interest to LITA members. The committee is also beginning to analyze social media analytics for LITA's Twitter and Facebook accounts to better understand how members engage with LITA's social media presence.
Is there anything LITA could have provided during this time that would have helped your group with its work?
In hindsight, the Communications & Marketing Committee would benefit from having read-only access to LITA's Google Analytics data for lita.org and the blog. This would let us track how LITA's social media accounts drive traffic to LITA's main web presences.
Please provide suggestions for future education topics, initiatives, publications, resources, or other activities that could be developed based on your group’s work.
Social media posting best practices and social media analytics courses and publications might be of interest to LITA members.
