- W328025630 abstract "As I sit down to write my last president's column a variety of topics are running through my mind. But as I focus on just one word to sum up the year, rises to the top of the fist. For truly it was a year of all things open. My presidential theme is open data/open science and I am looking forward to hearing Tony Hey and Clifford Lynch speak at the LITA President's Program later this month on this topic. Dr. Lynch is also the recipient of this year's LITA/Library Hi Tech award for Outstanding Communication in Library and Information Technology, cosponsored by Emerald Group Publishing Limited. The prestigious Frederick G. Kilgour Award for Research in Library and Information Technology award, co-sponsored by OCLC, is being given to G. Sayeed Choudhury this year. Dr. Choudhury is a longtime proponent of open data and the award recognizes his leadership in the field of data curation through the National Science Foundation supported Data Conservancy project. As you well know ITAL is now an open-access journal. Open access continues to be a hot topic, and rightly so. My last column was devoted to the subject of open access, but, I do want to remind librarians to advocate for open access in the coming year--please keep up the fight! In addition to seeing our journal to its new platform, the Publications Committee has also been busy with a few new LITA Guides, one of which, Getting Started with GIS, by Eva Dodsworth, provides some guidance on harnessing data sets to work with geospatial technology. Ms. Dodworth will be conducting an online course on this topic in August and the Education Committee has many new courses in the pipeline. Internally LITA has been working towards a more open and transparent governance structure. The Board has been relentless in making sure that all of its meetings are open, from in-person meetings at conferences to our monthly phone meetings to conversations on ALA Connect. We have been streaming our board meetings live and now will archive the recordings for a limited amount of time. This move has not been without challenges as board members and the LITA office struggled to build open communication with each other and the membership. Sometimes the challenges were ideological or legal, and sometimes the very technology that we embrace has caused problems, but I think it is safe to say that LITA leadership is working towards a common goal of a transparent structure with open communication channels. We opened up communication channels to get feedback on what our membership would like most when Zoe Stewart-Marshall, incoming president, hosted a town hall meeting at the ALA Midwinter Meeting that focused on member feedback. I know that she is working hard to address membership needs during her presidency. As a medical librarian I often travel in circles outside of ALA and when my medical colleagues learned that I was LITA President they were really impressed. LITA is a well-known and well-respected brand in the library community. Talking to my non-LITA colleagues reinforced the value that LITA brings to the entire profession, particularly through our programming, education, and they way in which we share and exchange information in open forums such as the LITA blog and listserv. …" @default.
