ACRL Board of Directors’ actions, June 2014: Highlights of the Board’s Annual Conference meetings

During the 2014 ALA Annual Conference Meeting in Las Vegas, the ACRL Board of Directors met on June 28 and 30.

With feedback from the Board, these committees will finalize their reports and develop their Work Plan for 2014–15.

The Board was also updated on work to date by representatives of two ACRL Task Forces: the Information Literacy Competency Standards for Higher Education Task Force and the Intersections of Information Literacy and Scholarly Communication Task Force.

The Board also had the opportunity to engage with the director of ALA’s new Center for the Future of Libraries. Board members whose service ended at the close of the 2014 ALA Annual Conference, Steven J. Bell, Mark Emmons, and Mary Ann Sheble were recognized and thanked for their service.
