Dear PADG: The ALCTS/PARS Committee appointments effective

serve! To view the list please sign

ALCTS Members. -------------------- Subject: ALA Connect: Exciting Stuff! Hi ALCTS members, There hasn't been a lot of fanfare, but the new ALA
online communities environment officially opened today. A press release, an
American Libraries article, and other information will be coming to you through
official channels, but I thought users might want to know right away. Access ALA Connect at http://www.facebook.com/l.php?u=http://connect.ala.org.
Your login for the ALA website is your login for ALA Connect. If you can't
remember your login info or are having trouble, please contact ALA Member and
Customer Service (MACS) at 1-800-545-2433. Anyone can create a public account, but ALA membership is
required for full functionality of the main ALA community. ALCTS membership is
required for the ALCTS community. If you're a committee member, you have access
to your committee's communities right now. There's NO registration or
validation process. You have access to the committee's space because of your
committee membership. Once you're logged in, click the My ALA Groups tab,
select your committee, and you're in. To learn more about Connect, see About
