Planning District 1 meeting

During the Texas Library Association, I attended 3 different meetings to help me plan the district meeting in the Fall.  The planning meeting which is on the last day was the most helpful because it gave me the overview of what each TLA interest group was planning for next year's conference in San Antonio.  The list of plans is included below.  If anyone in District 1 wants to join in research with individuals in other districts or institutions, this may help you find what others are investigating in the state.
