MARS Committees and Discussion Groups
Much of the work of MARS is accomplished by its committees and members. Committee appointments are open to any ALA member who belongs to both RUSA and MARS. Committee meetings are generally open to visitors, and participation is welcomed. We provide a tremendous variety of subjects and issues to stimulate and challenge you.
