Report from ALA MidWinter Meeting 2012
As Idaho's representative to the American Library Association (ALA) Council, I attended the ALA Midwinter meeting January 20-24, 2012. Attached to this blog post is my report of the ALA business that took place during the meeting.
People often wonder why ALA Council spends so much time writing and passing resolutions. So, I'll take just a minute here to explain that. Bottom line is: Council sets policy for ALA, and resolutions are how potential policies get introduced.
