Abstract

Outreach is Advocacy

The ALSC Advocacy & Legislation Committee is tasked with finding advocacy resources and sharing them with the rest of the ALSC community. The committee also educates library professionals about what advocacy actually is—ALSC’s Everyday Advocacy initiative defines it as “at its most basic . . . about relationships . . . that have the power to advance or retreat our cause.”
