Third Activity
Since the May report two sessions were planned and presented for Annual. The second was a presentation. LITAITIG Partnered with LITA Publication Committee Richard Guajardo, to introduce the LITA Guide Breanne Kirsch who highlighted 3 tools from her publication based on a format prepared by LITAITIG Chair (Lilly Ramin). Discussion and introduction to tools and LITA Instructional Technologies was lead by Chair, Lilly Ramin. The presentation was well attended — especially for a Monday slot!

What will your group be working on for the next three months?
If the proposal l gets accepted, I will notify the speakers and we will take it from there!
Is there anything LITA could have provided during this time that would have helped your group with its work?
While we surpassed the minimum requirement for renewals this year, they can be tricky since ALA members may not be LITA members at time of IG renewal. Perhaps IGs (and committees if they wish) can be listed on the ALA membership renewal form as options– even if free. Some divisions do this. Just a suggestion : )
Promotion of our LITA event on social media and blog would have been awesome.
Additional comments or concerns:
HUGE thanks to Mark Beatty for his guidance during this review period of activities! 🙂
