RSS Committee at ALA?
December 16th, 2004Don’t get your hopes up. It’s not what you think. I had both hands raised in the air doing a “Hip Hip Hooray” before I read more about it on Beyond the Job (this link may be a bit off - they need to change their permalinks):
“During 2004, RUSA reorganized some of its sections to better meet member needs. In the process, a new section was created specifically with reference librarians in mind: the Reference Services Section (RSS).
What is the Reference Services Section (RSS)?
RSS represents the interests of librarians and library support staff
engaged in all aspects of reference and information services including the delivery, management, and evaluation of reference and users services in all kinds of libraries.”
While this is a noble endeavor, I was hoping that ALA had finally joined the RSS crowd. Alas, I was crestfallen. I was cheered up however, by a few new ALA press releases that came into my aggregator tonight. Thank you Yahoo! (wink)
