New leaders emerged from our virtual \u201cgrass roots\u201d to form an interim steering committee. The next step was gathering 100 signatures for the petition to create SustainRT.

This article describes how library advocates built SustainRT over the years and gained momentum with a pivotal webinar series. Clear signs of SustainRT\u2019s early success are a testimony to the critical need for a sustainability-related Community of Practice (CoP). The article shows how the steps taken to achieve this national group\u2019s standing can serve as a model for fostering dialogue and collaboration (often through virtual means) that allows for wide participation.<\/p>\n [Poster] Abstract: This poster reports on the formation of the American Library Association (ALA) Sustainability Round Table (SustainRT) in 2013, the result of an urgent call to action for a unified effort to address the new millennium’s environmental, economic and social sustainability challenges within the library profession in the United States and Canada. This poster identifies the technologies, processes, roles and other factors that led to the founding of SustainRT, as well as providing a vision for the future based on its participatory and inclusive structure.<\/p>\n [Documents]<\/span><\/p>\n Would you like to know more about the history of SustainRT?\u00a0 Here are some useful sources of information: [Website] SustainRT History URL: http:\/\/www.ala.org\/rt\/sustainrt\/sustainrt-history Abstract: The ALA Sustainability Round Table (SustainRT) morphed out of ALA\u2019s Social Responsibilities Round Table\u2019s Task Force on the Environment (TFOE) during \u201cLibraries for Sustainability,\u201d a four-part series of free webinars offered … Continue reading History of SustainRT<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28,27,11],"tags":[38],"class_list":["post-278","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-articles-books-etc","category-library-resources","category-sustainrt","tag-organizational-history"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/olos.ala.org\/sustainrt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/278","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/olos.ala.org\/sustainrt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/olos.ala.org\/sustainrt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/olos.ala.org\/sustainrt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/olos.ala.org\/sustainrt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=278"}],"version-history":[{"count":11,"href":"https:\/\/olos.ala.org\/sustainrt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/278\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":291,"href":"https:\/\/olos.ala.org\/sustainrt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/278\/revisions\/291"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/olos.ala.org\/sustainrt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=278"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/olos.ala.org\/sustainrt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=278"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/olos.ala.org\/sustainrt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=278"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
