ALA Council


A message from ALA. If you are a member consider running. Organizations always need new blood if they are to remain healthy. Catalogers need to be represented in our professional societies.
We are actively seeking people to run for ALA Council. If you are interested, please go to http://www.ala.org/aboutala/governance/council for more information. You must fill out the form no later than August 17th. It is available at https://www.alavote.org/nomination/2013users.html. If you do fill it out, please select the "Nominated" option (rather than petition). Please thoughtfully consider becoming part of the governance of ALA!
