ALCTS News is looking for volunteers to report on preconferences, programs and fora of interest to the ALCTS community at the 2019 ALA Annual Conference in Washington, DC. Are you attending one of the sessions below? Would you like to share what you learn with the ALCTS community? Email Chelcie Rowell, editor of ALCTS News, at alctsnews@lists.ala.org to volunteer to report on a session at Annual.
In light of ongoing work by ALCTS, LITA and LLAMA to imagine a new, merged division, this year ALCTS News is seeking reporters for select programs sponsored by each of the three divisions. Reports should summarize the session and highlight particularly valuable takeaways. Length of reports typically ranges from 400–600 words. Reporters are also encouraged to contribute photos or other images. Shortly before the conference begins, Chelcie will be in touch with more detailed how-to’s for reporters.
