Providing equity of access is the business of every department in the library. Growing from the leadership initiative of 2003-04 ALA President Carla Hayden, this multifaceted guide answers both "why" and "how." Following successful models from around the country, any library can take steps to improve access to information for all, encompassed within the library's service delivery system. Quality service appears in a wide variety of programs. |
