My ALA Groups (members) vs. My ALA Communities (public)

  • Non-members will be able to register in Connect to create a free account, but they will only be able to view and add to public content. They won't be able to view member data like addresses, etc.

  • Both ALA groups and communities use the same types of tools. By default, each one has blog posts, online documents (like wiki pages), a calendar, polls, a chat room, a discussion board, and images (logos, pictures, etc.). The group can use whichever of the tools it finds valuable.

  • Members can also identify other members as co-workers, frequent collaborators, classmates, and friends in order to create an online professional network.

  • You need to be a current ALA member to log in with an existing ALA account. If your membership has expired, your ALA login won't work until you <a style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-color: initial; font-weight: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-family: inherit; vertical-align: baseline; color: rgb(17, 68, 136);" href="http://www.ala.org/Template.cfm?Section=Membership&Template=/CustomSource/Membership/Index.cfm">renew your membership</a>. 

 

How to Register in ALA Connect

  • How to register as an ALA member (or a public non-member): <a href="http://connect.ala.org/user/register">http://connect.ala.org/user/register</a>

  • Log in using your ALA website username and password to personalize ALA Connect.

  • The "My ALA Groups" dropdown menu near the top of the page (once you are logged in) will list the official ALA committees, divisions, round tables, and sections with which you're affiliated.
  • "My ALA Communities" dropdown menu lists (non-official) communities you are a part of (these might be created by ALA members or by non-members. 
  • Use the <a href="http://connect.ala.org/search/user">member search</a> to find friends in ALA Connect. When you're viewing another member's profile, there's an option underneath their picture to add them to your network
  • Fill out <a href="http://connect.ala.org/user">your own profile</a>.
    • Add a photo, work experience, and education to your account.

 

Set Your Email Preferences

  • If you turn on email notices from ALA Connect, you'll receive a message every time someone posts new content to one of your ALA groups or communities. By default, you will not receive any emails from ALA Connect until you edit your profile to receive email and enable this option for each group from which you want to receive email.

  • To edit your profile, log in to ALA Connect and follow the link in the left-hand column to "<a style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-color: initial; font-weight: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-size: 13px; font-family: inherit; vertical-align: baseline; color: rgb(17, 68, 136);" href="http://connect.ala.org/user/">My profile</a>." Then click on the "Subscriptions" tab. (Note that you can also get to this screen by clicking on the "Subscriptions" link in the right-hand column in any Connect group of which you are a member.)

  • Turn on email notification for groups you're active in (like ALA GODORT committees). Go to the group's (in this case, the committee's) home page and click on "Email preferences/Leave group" in the right-hand column. Then click on the "enable" option and then the "submit" button.
