  • 1.  Call for Volunteers: LIRT Top 20 Committee

    Help spotlight this year's best literature in library instruction! The LIRT Top 20 Committee is still looking for volunteers to help read, score, and annotate recent library instruction literature for this year's LIRT Top 20 Articles list. Membership on this committee is a wonderful way to stay up to date on library instruction literature (and it's great for the resume!). 

    For more information about this committee please visit this page: https://www.ala.org/lirt/top-twenty. 

    We're kicking off our first round of scoring soon, so please consider applying! To sign up to help, please complete the Volunteer Application (select the Top 20 Committee) by Monday, November 10th.

    Thanks for the overwhelming response we received for this call.  We have closed the volunteer window.  For those that weren't selected, please be on the lookout for the 2026 call for volunteers!
