Request to Become a Core Interest Group

  • Chairs for ALCTS, LITA, and LLAMA interest groups should submit this form to begin the process to reconstitute the group under Core. Contact us at core@ala.org if you have any questions about this form or the process.

    Please note that chairs and co-chairs must be members of Core. Anyone can join our interest groups, but the chairs must be Core members.

    Required fields are marked with an asterisk (*).


















  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.


  • This field is for validation purposes and should be left unchanged.
