PLA Service Responses Discussion Index

The PLA Results service responses have been a core element of the PLA planning process for a decade. However, there have been significant changes in the way people use libraries in the past 10 years and the service responses have become increasingly dated. New service responses will be identified over the next six months. The process will be managed by Sandra Nelson () and June Garcia (), the editor and associate editor of the Results series.

Round 2: Discussion of New Draft Responses

Thanks to the input of PLA members and blog readers, the comments received have contributed to the new and improved drafts of the PLA Results Service Responses. However, as they are drafts, continued input is requests to improve them further. Click on the links below to your comments to the discussion of the new drafts. The discussion of the proposed service responses on the PLA Blog will continue until February 15, 2007.

You can also provide feedback at the open meeting during the ALA Midwinter Meeting in Seattle on Sunday, January 21, from 1:30-3:30, Washington State Convention & Trade Center, Room 608-609.

Round 1: Discussion of Existing Service Responses

Three meetings were held during the 2006 ALA Annual Conference in New Orleans to discuss the current service responses and possible new service responses. The comments from the participants in those meetings are summarized below. Everyone is encouraged to join in the discussion on the PLA Blog of what the new service responses should include.

The discussion of the current service responses on the blog will continue until October 20, 2006. At that time, the service responses will be revised to reflect your input. Drafts of the proposed new service responses will be available on this site on December 1, 2006 and the PLA Service Responses Blog will be available to discuss the drafts and make recommendations about changes. Final drafts of the service responses will be posted to this site by January 4, 2007. More information about the process can be found at http://www.plaresults.org.
