Social Responsibilities Round Table of the American Library Association

Since 1969, members of the Social Responsibilities Round Table (SRRT) have worked to make the American Library Association (ALA) more democratic. They have also worked to promote a more progressive agenda. In doing so, SRRT has provided a home within ALA for progressive librarians, library workers, and supporters who agree to promote social responsibility as a core value of librarianship.

The SRRT Newsletter, in publication since 1969, has been a constant source of alternative viewpoints on libraries and their role in society.

SRRT Listserv

Stay informed about the activities of SRRT. In addition to the SRRT Newsletter, SRRT also maintains three listservs through ALA.

SRRTAC-L is the official discussion list, which provides SRRT members with a forum for posting activities, information, and news of interest to SRRT. All SRRT members may participate in this list, and anyone wishing to follow the discussion may subscribe as a read-only member.

SRRTMEM is an unrestricted email list for announcements from ALA and SRRT. Announcements come from the SRRT Coordinator, Treasurer, Newsletter Editor, or the Director of OLOS. The purpose is to keep SRRT members and other interested people informed as to SRRT's activities and to provide information about how to get involved.

To subscribe to either of the above lists, go to the ALA Mailing List Service interface, at http://lists.ala.org/ and enter "SRRT" in the search box.

SRRT-ACCOM provides SRRT Action Council members with the opportunity to communicate between face-to-face business meetings and facilitates sharing information about budgeting, upcoming agenda items, and other information which will help our business meetings flow more smoothly. Membership is limited to the SRRT Action Council, but any non-list member may follow the discussion by going to http://lists.ala.org/wws/info/srrt-accom and selecting "Archives" from the list on the left side.
