Posting files such as minutes, agendas, and other committee documents
ALSC committee chairs are still responsible for posting minutes from meetings to their committee's ALA Connect space and to the ALSC Community Home space. Doing so ensures that current members and future committees have access to this information going forward. Please remember, to comply with ALA's Open Meeting policy (A.7.4.4), we ask that you post your committee documents (agendas and minutes) to the ALSC Community Home space so all members can have access to them and learn more about the work of your committee.
