LITA Program Planning Committee (Library & Information Technology Association) Committee
Program Planning Committee
The Program Planning Committee recommends to the Board of Directors action to be taken on programs proposed by the interest groups and committees for ALA annual conferences and preconference institutes. The Committee coordinates and reviews program plans submitted by the committees and interest groups to insure that sufficient planning has occurred and a realistic budget has been prepared. The Committee works closely with the Education Committee and the Emerging Technologies Interest Group to identify program topics of interest to LITA membership, and works with the appropriate interest groups and committees in encouraging the planning of such programs. The Committee may itself plan and execute institutes, programs and preconferences of interest to the division. Since preconferences and institutes generate revenue which is instrumental to the support of the LITA division activities in general; the Program Planning Committee encourages a sufficient number of preconferences and institutes to contribute to the economic stability of the division. A member of the Committee serves on the program committee of any preconference or institute.
Composition
One director from the LITA Board, a minimum of three members selected from the division at large, one of whom shall be appointed the committee chair, and the division's liaison to the ALA Exhibits Round Table.
The Program Planning Committee Chair also serves as the LITA Representative to the ALA Conference Program Coordinating Team (CCT). Alternatively, the Chair may officially appoint a committee member to serve as the LITA Representative. The Chair will notify the LITA Office with the name of the LITA Representative to the CCT so that all rosters and distribution lists can be updated. Action items and items of relevance to LITA are to be reported by the LITA Rep to the LITA President and Executive Director. Information about the CCT can be found at http://www.ala.org/ala/confservices/ccc/conferencecoordinating.htm.
