The Discussion Starters are undergoing a change, starting with the BCLTA Discussion Starters: Intellectual Freedom. New and updated Discussion Starters are posted as pdfs, are made available under Creative Commons liscence, and include scenarios informed by actual board situatations.
Discussion Starters are mini-packages of research, media, and other resources for supporting board work and development. This is an ongoing initiative with regular updates and additions. Contact BCLTA to add your resources, templates, or policies to any of the Discussion Starters.
