SRRT (Social Responsibilities Round Table)

last person joined: 14 hours ago 

The Social Responsibilities Round Table works to make ALA more democratic and to establish progressive priorities not only for the Association, but also for the entire profession. Concern for human and economic rights was an important element in the founding of SRRT and remains an urgent concern today. SRRT believes that libraries and librarians must recognize and help solve social problems and inequities in order to carry out their mandate to work for the common good and bolster democracy.

    Dear SRRT membership at large. Attached to this post are:

     

    1. Minutes of the April 3, 2010 online SRRT Action Council  meeting (MS Word), transcribed by Nancy Garmer. .

     

    2. The History of SRRT Newsletter (PDF) compiled by Myka Kennedy Stevens.

    The next step will be a 6th revision of the SRRT Newsletter Editorial Policy   based on comments from the 4/3/10 meeting plus any comments you would care to share. Myka Stevens will be posting the draft 6th revision soon along with a deadline for comments. We hope to have this whole process fairly wrapped up before Annual conference in D.C. so we can vote on the editorial policy as well as By-Law changes, including the newsletter portion of the By-Laws.

     

    We may wish to consider whether we need to update our mission statement too, something that was brought up by one of our members in the online discussion.

     

    I am making this document available to the whole membership and hope I have done so properly given my slight confusion over whether making something publicly available means that the entire ALA Connect population will see it. - Mike Marlin, Coordinator-Elect
