Since you\u00a0are reading this post, chances are you are familiar with ALSC initiatives, professional tools, and latest announcements. It\u2019s also likely that, as a librarian, educator, or library student, you\u2019re accustomed to learning about a topic without having to rely exclusively on Wikipedia. Whether you’re an ALSC member or not,\u00a0you have come to participate in a national conversation about children and libraries. Which is why you are being surveyed for your feedback!<\/p>\n
We\u2019re updating\u00a0our website and Wikipedia page and want help from ALSC members and ALSC Blog readers in determining which content needs to rise\u00a0to the top so that the general public\u00a0can learn about us and\u00a0see our value. What unique role does ALSC fulfill, and where have the biggest impacts\u00a0been made?<\/p>\n
Is it the opportunities in\u00a0resource and work sharing<\/a>, or the curated\u00a0book lists<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Great Websites for Kids<\/a>? Have you connected to a\u00a0mentor<\/a>\u00a0who shared lessons learned over years of experience? Are there other skills that you developed via ALSC\u00a0publications<\/a>,\u00a0conferences<\/a>,\u00a0webinars<\/a>, and\u00a0volunteer<\/a>\u00a0opportunities? One can make an impact through\u00a0collaborating<\/a>\u00a0on a shared\u00a0goal<\/a>, especially starting with the local\u00a0community<\/a>. Not only does ALSC advocate for its members, but it starts the discussion in the\u00a0news<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0trending topics<\/a>\u00a0that impact our industry. We\u2019d love to hear your thoughts on what’s most important to include when general providing information on ALSC, so please fill out the survey below, and be sure to share it with your colleagues!\u00a0(If you don’t see the survey below, click here to access it<\/a>.)<\/p>\n Loading…<\/p>\n If you\u2019ve got additional ideas, questions, or concerns about this project, please direct them to Amy Koester, the chair of the Public Awareness Committee (email her at\u00a0amy.e.koester@gmail.com).<\/p>\n Thank you for your help!<\/p>\n ___________________________________ Since you\u00a0are reading this post, chances are you are familiar with ALSC initiatives, professional tools, and latest announcements.
