<p class=MsoNormal>Hello Oregon!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I just wanted to pass along some information about a campaign
being launched by an ALA Task Force. We are the Young Librarians Task Force and
we’re trying to gather information to report to ALA’s Executive Board about
what ALA can do to improve and better serve young and new librarians. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p><span style='font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"'>Whether you’re an active,
enthusiastic ALA member, or ALA participation sounds as painful as getting your
teeth pulled, we want to hear from you. What do you see as the association’s
benefits and drawbacks? Why do you participate, or why don’t you want to be
involved? Post your 1-minute video response to our <a
href="http://www.youtube.com/group/whyala">YouTube group</a>.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style='font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"'>Read more about the Young
Librarians Task Force on our blog: <a

<p><span style='font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"'>And please don’t hesitate
to contact me with any questions.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
