ALA Connect

The American Library Association (ALA) is now providing members a common virtual space to engage in ALA business and network with other members around issues and interests relevant to the profession. Every group in ALA Connect will have the ability to use the following tools:

• ALA Connect is a place where members can engage with each other, and grow their networks by sharing their own expertise and more!
• The new Connect offers quicker connections to groups and content, a more welcoming path for onboarding new or newly-active members, and opportunities to discover members of similar job titles, interests and other demographics so they can engage and experience meaningful career connections.
• Your ALA Connect profile is your key to showcasing yourself and discovering your unique ALA presence.
• Your documents and groups in the current Connect will be migrated to the new Connect. Members won’t lose any previous discussion or file content in active communities.
