Well, ALA Connect is now officially up and running! The Public Library Association’s (PLA) Immigration and Citizenship Interest Group might be a good place to start a discussion on the passport services work that libraries are carrying out across the country.

Note that PLA personal membership is required to join an interest group and you must be logged into your ALA Connect account to access the page.

01. May 2018 · Comments Off on ALA Connect: National platform for libraries to communicate on passport services? · Categories: Uncategorized

In following the story of American Library Association (ALA) Connect, which is currently being worked on I am wondering if this could be the best platform for librarians to electronically communicate on a national level on passport related service ideas/questions that they have.

To my knowledge no national electronic platform to communicate on passport services currently exists for librarians to use.

Obviously ALA Connect has the backing of the national professional association for the industry, which makes it ideal to use.

While work is still being performed to get ALA Connect ready to launch, I am willing to wait and see what transpires. To be continued.
