Adventures with the A-Word: Advocacy Planning at ALA Marci Merola, Director ALA Office for Library Advocacy Oregon Library Assn. Executive Board Meeting October 3, 2014

How do you define advocacy?

The Office for Library Advocacy The Office for Library Advocacy (OLA) supports the efforts of advocates seeking to improve libraries of all types by developing resources, a peer-to-peer advocacy network, and training for advocates at the local, state and national level. In order to achieve this goal, OLA works closely with the Public Information Office, the Chapter Relations Office, the Office for Government Relations, and other ALA units involved in advocacy on behalf of particular types of libraries or particular issues, in order to help better integrate these efforts into the overall advocacy planning and strategies of the association. OLA also works to cultivate future leadership in order to sustain the advocacy efforts of the association.

Advocacy Advocacy: Turning passive support into educated action. Or: turning support into action.

…vs. Public Awareness Public Awareness: Efforts to inform a given public about a particular issue or idea.

…vs. lobbying Lobbying: to try to influence the thinking of legislators or other public officials for or against a specific cause.

Library Service vs.Value of Libraries (users vs. supporters )

Strategic Plan

ALA’s three new strategic areas Advocacy Information Policy Professional Development

Strategic Plan

Visioning Questions If we are doing advocacy and public awareness correctly, what is different for libraries five years from now? For librarians? For the Association? What tactics and strategies do we have to employ to get to that point? What are our goals?

Strategic Plan Components: Advocacy Vision Goals/Objectives/Strategies/Metrics Framework (advocacy continuum) Program Portfolio Annual Action Plans

Thank you, OLA! Marci Merola, Director ALA Office for Library Advocacy
