Interest Groups exist to give their members a way to find the people who care about the same things that they do and create a professional community. Each interest group should meet a unique need, without duplicating the work of other existing interest groups.

Required Deliverables*

All Core interest groups are required to convene regular, ongoing discussion year-round in their Connect groups or networking activity. Please select which additional discussion deliverable(s) your group will implement this year. Check all that apply.

Host at least one Core-wide eforum on a topic of broad interest within our area of focus
Plan an in-person discussion (not a program) at the ALA Annual Conference
Hold a virtual program or discussion during the year (not as part of a conference)

Additional Deliverables*

We also encourage interest groups to offer additional deliverable(s) when possible. Could your group provide any of the following options? Check all that apply.

Develop a resource, product, or service for Core members
Offer an online course or webinar through Core’s continuing education program
Submit a program for consideration to be presented at the Core Exchange, Core Forum, or ALA Annual Conference
