Dear AASLIG Community,
We are excited to share the August 2026 issue of the AASLIG Newsletter and to relaunch the newsletter as a quarterly publication! This issue features updates from AASLIG leadership, news from the African American Subject Funnel Project, highlights from our ALA Annual meeting, archives and special collections news, upcoming professional development opportunities and conferences, and ways to become more involved with AASLIG and the Funnel.
Please see the attached newsletter, and we encourage you to share it with colleagues who may be interested in African American Studies librarianship. We also welcome news, projects, presentations, publications, and other items for future issues.
Thank you for being part of the AASLIG community!
