Subject: [CONNTECH] ALA WEB SITE RESPONDS TO NATIONAL CRISIS

    I thought folks might like to take a look at this new aspect of the ALA web site. I think it's very helpful.

    ALA WEB SITE RESPONDS TO NATIONAL CRISIS
    In light of recent events, the American Library Association has created the following web site to assist librarians with questions that might arise. Our proactive efforts now will help ensure we can expedite information requests within the framework of state confidentiality laws. It includes a shared statement from the ALA, the American Association of Law Libraries and the Association of Research Libraries; a Q&A on the confidentiality and privacy of library records; Resources for Children and Their Parents and Educators; Books on Terrorism for teens ... and their caregivers; Resources to Help Teens, Parents and Teachers; and Crisis Reference Web sites. The site may be found on http://www.ala.org/pio/crisis/index.html.
