Hi all - below is the March 2022 edition of APPC News Alerts - we apologize for the delay as we regroup after the conference and the transition in committee membership! Keep an eye out for our April News Alerts within the next couple of weeks! Advocacy & Public Policy Committee News Alerts v.8 n. 3, March 2022 Advocacy & Public Policy Committee News Alerts support the committee's mission to monitor governmental activities and social justice issues affecting the professional interests of ARLIS/NA and to keep the ARLIS/NA membership informed. The monthly alerts are intended to be conversation starters, help members keep up on public policy issues and alert members to new developments. The articles compiled in the News Alerts bring to the forefront recent news from a range of perspectives designed to elicit discussion; they are not compiled to represent the views of ARLIS as an organization or the members of the Advocacy and Public Policy Committee.
