What will your group be working on for the next three months?
We will be making changes to help streamline and relate the process of reading and selecting books. The Committee will be turned over for the new chair. We will also talk to publishers at ALA, and begin reading books for 2019. Also we will bring onboard new committee members.
Is there anything LITA could have provided during this time that would have helped your group with its work?
We would like a better understanding of how members of committees are selected. Are we allowed to recruit? Can we pass on names of people we think would be good members. It will help us plan for next year more effectively.
