Interest Groups

Interest groups are a great way to get involved with LITA, while learning about emerging trends or issues in library technology.  The groups help shape future LITA programs, education initiatives and publications.

Joining

Interest groups are open to all LITA members.  Conference attendance is not required.  To join an interest group, contact the chair of the group.  See contact information by logging into the site and visiting the pages below.  If you need help, contact the LITA office at lita@ala.org.
