Several years ago the American Library Association launched online communities software developed by another national association. ALA’s online communities never really caught on. The software was not intuitive and many users found it clunky and sometimes confusing. So it was very welcome news from Jenny Levine last week that ALA has put our an RFP to migrate the communities to Drupal. This will offer much needed flexibility lacking in the old software. As it develops My ALA will give members greater and greater opportunities to interact, learn, contribute, and collaborate.
