Welcome to the Professional Tools section of ALA's Web site.  Please use the navigational items on the left hand side of the page to find information that you can use in your daily work in libraries.

In addition to the resources from our units -- offices, round tables, and divisions -- in the areas listed to the left, ALA also sponsors a number of electronic discussion lists which provide an opportunity for ongoing discussion among members and others with shared interests. You can also use the electronic discussion lists page to view the archives of past discussions.
