LITA Blog Subcommittee – December 2018 Report


The group met 2-3 times this quarter.

Recent Activities

First Activity
The blog group recently underwent some changes to ensure that we are continuing to support the content and work of the blog. We finalized the list of active writers, developed a presence in ALA Connect and we are planing our writing calendar and a review of the style guide.

We are collaborating with the LITA CAM committee to develop some cross-content based on the LITA chat series and profile authors on the blog.

We also had interest from a new co-editor, and we are in the process of determining how that role will allow one of the existing co-editors to rotate off the group and keep the momentum going.

Is there anything LITA could have provided during this time that would have helped your group with its work?
No, it’s been great

LITA Blog Subcommittee – September 2018 Report


The group met 2-3 times this quarter.

Recent Activities

First Activity
The blog group underwent a significant re-organization in terms of membership over the course of 2018. We onboarded several new writers, developed a posting schedule and provided training for the group.

We are now turning our attention towards developing an editorial calendar (following the LITA CAM committee calendar) and determining how we want to go about continuing to develop original content as well as ensuring that as new writers transition on and off the blog we maintain a high quality level of output.
