For sixty years, the Association for Library Collections and Technical Services (ALCTS) has provided opportunities in education, discussion, publishing, and collaboration to the library community. A division of the American Library Association (ALA), ALCTS is the premier organization for professionals in acquisitions, collection management, cataloging and metadata, continuing resources, and preservation. Our engaged members lead the way in developing standards and best practices for creating, identifying, selecting, acquiring, organizing, managing, and preserving recorded knowledge in all formats. This annual report summarizes our activities for the 2016–17 year.
