ABSTRACT

The Association of Specialized and Cooperative Library Agencies (ASCLA) is a division of the American Library Association (ALA). ASCLA is the professional home for state library agency personnel, librarians serving special populations, multitype librarians, and consultants and other independent librarians. The ASCLA members were strong advocates of the Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA) and will be active in urging reauthorization of the act. The ASCLA also sponsors the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Assembly, an ALA-wide group designed to foster coordination of efforts to meet the challenges and opportunities presented by the ADA legislation.
