ALA Council I – Midwinter 2012

Council I was either a review of board actions and report on the implementation of council actionas from the 2011 Annual Conference in New Orleans, LA. We also had a report from the new Digital Content and Libraries Working Group, which just had it’s first face to face meeting yesterday. They’ve identified some areas that need to be addressed, and will work towards developing recommentations in the coming year. The nominations committee stated the nominees for the ALA Executive Board and one additional nominees was nominated from the floor. Also, there was a resolution on the agenda on discrimation of digital access, but it was moved to Council II. It is possible that it might be discussed in Council Forum tonight. There is also a resolution being worked on regarding the censorship of text books in Arizona, but we haven’t seen anything yet. But, something tells me we will before the end of Midwinter. I did thank the ALA leadership for their participation in the 2011 ArLA Centennial Conference. President Molly Raphael said that they enjoyed being there and had a good time. Hopefully, we can continue to have some ALA speakers from time to time at our conferences. Anyway, that’s it for now.
