ALSC Handbook of Organization

This handbook has been prepared to serve as a guide to the Board of Directors, the Priority Group Consultants, the Committees, and the staff of the Association for Library Service to Children in the performance of their duties and responsibilities.

It includes the Bylaws of the association and describes the general responsibilities, activities, and composition of priority groups and committees. The procedures described are consistent with those in effect at ALA Headquarters, and in some cases are dictated by overall ALA policies.

Monograph (non-serial) Publications

Committees may determine that to achieve a specific objective, they need to develop a manuscript for an article, pamphlet, book, or list (either print or on-line versions).

Unless the committee has authorization within its function statement to produce a continuing publication (e.g., Notable Children's Books), Board approval is required, via a proposal process, before work beings on the project. Once approved, the Program Officer will advise and assist committees with the publishing process.
