Communications

LIS seeks to provide clear and consistent communications both internally and externally to facilitate effective information sharing, collaboration, and service. This organizational communications plan is designed to help us achieve this goal. It seeks to provide clarity and greater simplicity for staff by defining communication tools and their appropriate uses.

It is an evolving work-in-progress and suggestions for improvement are welcome and sought. As a leader in investigating new technologies and communication tools, we can expect to regularly test and evaluate additional tools that may or may not become central tools for LIS communications in the future. Emerging or experimental tools will be labeled as such and we will set expectations and definitions for their use while under evaluation to ensure ongoing clarity for LIS staff.

We recognize the challenges of any organization when considering strategies for communication methods, and understand that any successful plan for communications will involve commitment by all those participating. Thank you for your part in helping to make our communications more effective.
