The Continuing Education Advisory Committee represents diverse types of libraries and all areas of the state, and plays an active role in helping to shape library staff development and outreach by:
- Providing input about both library staff and end user needs in Texas
- Participating in the development of the annual CE plan that includes recommendations for staff development programs and topics and/or identification of competencies
- Representing the point of view of the constituency each member represents
- Acting as a communication link between the Library Development & Networking Division staff and the Texas library community
- Providing annual feedback via a liaison to the TexShare Advisory Board on instruction and outreach for the TexShare programs, specifically.
