SRRT (Social Responsibilities Round Table)

 View Only
last person joined: yesterday 

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.

    Here is what happened this afternoon at the ALA Council meeting when they ran out of time. As the published ending time approached, the ALA President-Elect who was chairing the meeting, asked the body if there were any objections to extending the meeting by 15 minutes. There were no objections. As the meeting proceeded it became clear that the extra 15 minutes were not sufficient to finish the agenda. The chair then asked the body if there were any objections to extending the meeting another 15 minutes. This time there were objections. The body then decided to adjourn and reconvene soon to finish the rest of the items on the agenda.

    Katharine, I will email you the link & passcode directly.

    If anyone else would like access to the Zoom recording, please email Rachel Rosekind and myself, and we will send the link & passcode to you directly.

    Note that SRRT Action Council meeting recordings are deleted one month after the meeting.

    These measures (link/passcode access, limited time availability) have been put in place to balance transparent access to the primary source, with attendees' privacy and safety.

    Thanks,

    Olivia
