[Nadia Caidi]

Apologies for duplication.

+++++++++++++++++

*Are you interested in the future of LIS, LIS Education, and the
Information Professions? Then add your voice to the dialogue...*

We are seeking your input ahead of an Opening Session at the annual meeting
of ALISE (to be held on January 28, 2015).

The session will bring together leaders of key information associations to
explore new ways of working together, thinking out of the box and into the
future, and advancing our field  through
constructive and collaborative problem-solving. A collective Agenda for
action will begin to emerge from this session.

We would like to hear your opinion and suggestions regarding such issues as:

- How can we move beyond siloization of the field/profession and shape our
future in a way that expresses our professional, scholarly and educational
commonalities?
- How can accreditation better present and serve this broad community?
- How can our information associations better reflect how our discipline(s)
is/are changing? Could there be a more appropriate and collaborative model,
and what would it look like?
- How can we best raise our presence, and highlight our value to to academe
and to society at large?
- What concrete measures could your organization commit to undertake, in
the spirit of community-building, collaboration, public engagement, and a
more democratic representation?


*We count on diverse perspectives and viewpoints to enrich the dialogue.
So, make your voice heard.*
