LITA


Walt Crawford discusses the negative effects of LITA no longer having a newsletter in the latest Cites & Insights. I'm not a member, I'm in SLA, but I think a 'blog would be ideal. The burden of publication would be diffuse. The officers could post items as they arrived and so it would be timelier. The possibility of e-mail and RSS feeds for those who prefer those methods of delivery would be convenient for the members. Finally, LITA as a technology association should be investigating newer methods of communication. Just an off-the-cuff suggestion by an outsider.
