American Library Association

Provides invaluable and well-considered information, advice, and direction on the educational path and decisions needed to begin on the path to a career as a librarian or degrees Library Information Technology. Graduate schools providing a masters' degree accredited by this Association are listed on one web page, as are undergraduate institutions offering Associate's degrees in Library Science, Information Science with an emphasis on Library Science, and local chapters of the American Library Association by region on other web pages. Textbooks for library science are on sale at the ALA online shop, (never done business with them myself) and they have a thought-provoking web page of challenged and banned literary works for young people as well. Invaluable resource for students of Library Information Technology/Library Science and seasoned librarians alike. Recommended

ALA is a priceless group, they do so much great work for literacy and libraries everywhere. As an aspiring writer I know they're important for my work too.
