In SLA’s Centennial Year, you may be hearing a lot about Realignment; changing the name of the association; and bringing other professionals into our fold. Are “Libraries” and “Librarians” still a relevant “product,” but in need of new marketing? Anne will help bring clarity to the Association’s goals and process as SLA members get ready to make important decisions about the future of the profession.
More information on the Alignment Project is online. You can watch a video on Alignment with Anne and current SLA President Gloria Zamora.
