Name Change is Taking Place

Earlier this year the ALIA Information Literacy Forum changed its name to ALIA Pathways through a competitive process. Thank you to Suzanne Parker for coming up with our new name. – Pathways ! Over the next few weeks we will be slowly changing from the old name to the new name on the web site and the elist. Please bear with us as these changes are made.
