Dear all, ALA is losing it all to "efficiency"! Just try navigating the new "streamlined" website. _No_ navigational links at the top. _No_ "learn more" link or any other link under "Offices" to the Exec Board. And even finding "Offices" takes a hunt. So, the first thing on the ALA website is: "Frequently ...

Dear Tara, "Haha"? Interesting to know you found the "dressing down" of Mark Rosenzweig so amusing. While I always appreciate learning new things, parliamentary procedure is, in fact, something I do know a bit about. I even happen to know enough about it to recognize when it is being used to ...

As a newly elected member of SRRT's Action Council (AC), and as a 30+ year SRRT member who was very active in SRRT and ALA from 1990 through 2009, I approach my new term as AC member with grave concerns. Yesterday and today (June 28 and 29, 2025), I attended via Zoom the AC meetings taking place ...

Dear Al and all, Thanks so much, Al, for bringing this to my attention. I wholeheartedly agree with you that SRRT and ALA should certainly act to support protesters' rights and that failing to do so counts against the record this interpretation eloquently proclaims. Did the interpretations pass yesterday? ...
