The AL Live team has had a great time pulling together this new program for you. It's been years in the making really, a germ of an idea from online learning manager Dan Freeman and a former American Libraries editor, Sean Fitzpatrick. Advertising and marketing specialist Katie Bane worked with marketing director Jill Davis to help our national advertising manager Doug Lewis in promoting and selling the concept. Publisher J. Michael Jeffers and I worked out the budget and editorial schedule with all the team.
