The Professional Development Committee monitors the continuing education needs of members and communicates those needs to STS Council, Program Planning Committees and Discussion Group chairs. The Committee develops and implements continuing education projects, as the committee deems feasible and as directed by STS Council (the mentoring program is one such example). The committee informs STS members of continuing education activities that may be of interest, from within and outside the section; and to appoint one committee member to serve as liaison to the ACRL Professional Development Committee.
