Through education, discussion, publishing, and collaboration, the Association for Library Collections and Technical Services (ALCTS) leads in developing standards and best practices for selecting, identifying, acquiring, organizing, managing, retrieving, and preserving recorded knowledge. In the dynamic library environment, ALCTS’s mission is ambitious. Maintaining effectiveness in its pursuit requires flexibility, creativity, persistence, and an organizational culture of continuing revitalization. ALCTS members’ activities this year demonstrate that brave inventiveness. Below is a summary, arranged under the four Critical Issues Areas identified in ALCTS’s innovative strategic plan.
