As needed, the Steering Committees establish subgroups: working groups to monitor certain areas and to offer advice on an ongoing basis, or task forces to fast track analysis of a specific question. Through these committees and other groups, member library representatives continuously collaborate with ARL staff to develop, prioritize, and assess actions and next steps. The resulting action agendas are summarized through working documents formally called “Review of Activities, Projects, and Priorities” more commonly called the “grid reports,” a shorthand name derived from their format. As working documents, the grids breathe life into the Strategic Plan by detailing the steps planned or taken to advance an outcome. The grids are updated quarterly and posted on the members-only directors wiki, and reported on at semi-annual ARL Business Meetings.
