Local Libraries: Global Awareness
Online Survey

 

A Global Awareness Team of American Library Association school and public librarians will work closely with Global Learning to develop an international resource guide. We will present an interactive training session at the 1998 ALA Annual Conference in Washington, DC. This session will be designed to familiarize ALA members with global resources to better serve their users.
