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.

Record of signed statements

  • 1.  Record of signed statements

    Posted 2 hours ago

    Hello everybody,

    I feel like over the years SRRT has lent its support to efforts of other organizations by signing statements, open letters, declarations, etc. It seems like it's something that we have done fairy quickly at meetings, and the follow up has presumably been the communication with the organization. I'm wondering if the record of these actions is just in the meeting minutes, or if we've consistently shared it in the newsletters, or if there is possibly a central record. I'm thinking it might be good to publicize these actions a bit more, and to make a list available. I think it's something we could make a bit more of. Or is my memory tricking me and this is not a thing we have been doing?
