  • 1.  Update: ACRL GRC

    Posted Feb 25, 2025 03:33 PM
    Hi everyone, 

    Thanks for a great meeting last week and for your continued work on this committee! 
    • We are going to be sharing a cleaned-up draft of the agenda with ALA's Public Policy and Advocacy (PPA) Office in March. Although we will still be working on the agenda until the end of March, this will give the PPA a chance to comment and make recommendations for us before our April 1 deadline. I will send the agenda (with resolved comments and cleaned up sections) on March 11 to the PPA for comment. Please have at least some new information added to your areas by the end of the day (Pacific Time Zone) on March 10. I'll go into the document on the 11 and start to clean things up before sending along to the PPA Office. 
    • I did send the agenda to ACRL Committee and Division Leadership, but I have not received any responses so far. 
    • This agenda will have our names and our institutions signed at the bottom of the document and will be available online. If you need to remove your institution's name, please let me know and I will leave that off. 
    • Our last meeting will be on Tuesday, March 18 at 1pm EST/2pm CST. I'll send out another reminder when we get closer to the date. 
    • The deadline for the work of this committee is Monday, March 31. 
    Natalie will be posting the formal minutes to ALA Connect soon, so those who couldn't make it can see some of our conversation around sections/information. 

    Thank you again for the important work you are doing on this committee! Please be in touch if you have questions for me. 

    Take care,
    Kaitlyn
