In response to the changing needs of the profession, as well as a desire to improve the format in which SLA Headquarters shares information and news with its members, SLA revamped all its various "specialty" SLA Connections e-mail newsletters. Each topic area: Click University, Annual Conference, Public Policy, Inside the Box, Outside the Box, and Executive Journal, is now covered by its own dedicated blog. Each blog is updated regularly and feeds the latest posts to an email which members receive weekly.
"So much happens with SLA on a day-to-day basis, and the monthly Connections emails were not enough to keep up with all the activity. Moving the information to blogs allows SLA HQ to share news and information with our members as it happens, not a month later," said SLA Chief Executive Officer Janice Lachance. "Additionally, with the ability of readers to comment on blog postings or start additional dialogue surrounding information-industry news, this is one more opportunity for our members to interact with staff as well as each other. I think this format will be an improvement that our members will appreciate. We have already received a lot of great feedback."
