The group met 4-6 times this quarter.
Recent Activities
First Activity
The committee got support from the LITA executive board to move to a rotating Chair/Vice-Chair (Chair Elect) model to better support to continuing work of the committee. The ALCTS Co-Chair is communicating with the ALCTS board for approval from them. Additionally, I communicated with the LITA Appointments Committee to assist with the appointment for next year's committee chair. We're also working to get the appointments back in alignment, since they got out of sync this year.
