Announcement, April 6, 2012:
40th Anniversary Special Joint Anthropology & Sociology Discussion Groups
In honor of the 40th anniversary of ANSS, the Anthropology Discussion Group and Sociology Discussion Group have decided to join forces to work on creating and/or updating our Librarian Tool Kits. These are currently posted as shared documents on ALA-Connect, which anyone may access and edit, if they wish to join in the group editing project or just to see the growing documents. We encourage you to get engaged in building these Tool Kits (one each for Anthropology and Sociology), lending your expertise and interest in the myriad subfields.
Please click through, check out the Tool Kit Drafts, and contribute to their creation!
At ALA Annual, our meeting will span across both the Anthropology and Sociology Discussion Groups, to discuss the Tool Kits and the resources they highlight, as well as to continue building them. Everyone is highly encouraged to attend both Discussion Groups to contribute and learn with us.
Anthropology is from 8-10am on Sunday of ALA
Sociology is from 1:30-3:30pm on Sunday of ALA
We hope to provide breakfast-treats at 8am (BYOCoffee and more treats encouraged.)
