"But here is the kicker–it has to be active virtual participation. Just saying that you are “ok” with virtual participation isn’t enough. Our groups need to go the extra mile to discover software, disseminate information in advance, and troubleshoot problems on site. Having said that though it shouldn’t be all on the groups. ALA needs to step up and ensure that its divisions, sections, round tables and whatever else have the necessary tools, resources, and mandates to pull it off. ALA Connect is a great start and a useful forum, but I want to see support for real-time collaboration and virtual meetings. Because when it comes down to it, it isn’t about me. It’s about those members who don’t have the freedom or money or time or ability to travel to far flung cities twice a year. Those members need to be included too. Otherwise, what is the point of ALA, really?
There’s your charge ALA; now let’s see some action."
