Brainstorm: If ALA Could be Anything, What Would it Be? (Led by Leslie Burger)

  • IDEAS GENERATED:
    • More opportunities for virtual involvement
    • More transparency about the ALA structure; information about ALA jobs on the web
    • Less bureaucratic
    • More work would get done between conferences; ALA should not be just about conference
    • More cross-over among units; interdisciplinary sharing of work to accomplish shared goals
    • Less division by type of library – organize us by focusing on the people we serve
    • More cross-divisional participation
    • Greater ALA presence in library schools
    • Weave the professional and personal needs together more under the ALA umbrella
    • More partnerships with other organizations to engage on issues of mutual interest, for example literacy
    • Expand the ALA after library school program; information about what our jobs encompass, a viral video; tell our stories more effectively; improve advocacy efforts - use the current economic situation to demonstrate the value of libraries
    • ALA should be involved with service learning – check out the new journal “collaborative librarianship”
    • Improve the relationship between ALA and its state chapters
    • Remember that ALA is the Library association not the librarian association
    • You tube interviews for council candidates
    • Build relationships across disciplines with other associations
    • Teach other people how to do what we do so well , i.e. collaboration
    • Harness our energy to support advocacy efforts
  • NEXT STEPS:
    • Share this information with all three EL classes and ask for additional items
    • Establish priorities for the list
    • Use the Annual 2009 town hall meeting to develop action plans
