ALA President Tracie D. Hall writes: “In an era when our access to education, employment, and public health—our primary quality of life indicators—is increasingly predicated on digital access, libraries are and must be deeply invested in ensuring the greatest level of connectivity for users. This is a critical area of focus for ALA and for the LIS community at large. While expanding connectivity must continue to be a foundation of our work, we must also expand connectedness to and within our institutions. In the organizational sense, connectedness is nurtured by prioritizing relationships, creating a culture of transparency, and developing a culture of trust that emphasizes collaboration, not competition.”
