Founded in 1876, the American Library Association<\/a> is the oldest and largest library association in the world. The ALA provides leadership for the development, promotion, and improvement of library and information services and the profession of librarianship. Its 56,000+ members represent public, school, academic, special and state libraries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The student chapter works to promote scholarly achievement and professional awareness among its members. Membership in ALA automatically qualifies students for membership in the student chapter, and affordable student membership rates are offered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
