NOTICE: The Council of Liaisons is being superseded by the Liaisons Coordinating and Component Committees. These policies and procedures still govern individual liaisons whose terms end in FY11 or FY12.
Council of Liaisons
The Council of Liaisons is charged to carry out a program of in-depth liaison activities with targeted professional associations. Liaisons help target organizations understand the value-added assets libraries and librarians can bring to their respective missions and goals. Further, liaisons bring information and higher education issues of the target associations to the attention of the ACRL Board and membership; develop strategies on issues of significant importance to the profession and implement them among the named liaison organizations. The Council advises the Board annually on desired changes in the target association list or needed changes in the direction of the program.
