The Library Instruction Round Table (LIRT) is a roundtable of the American
Library Association.  It advocates library instruction as a means for
developing competent library and information use as a part of lifelong
learning. LIRT membership represents all types of libraries (academic,
public, school, and special) committed to this goal.

As an organization LIRT works to increase professional and public awareness
of the need for instruction as an essential service in libraries; encourage
the development of American Library Association policy promoting library
instruction; assist library practitioners in the development, improvement,
and promotion of library instruction; broaden the base of membership
involvement in the activities of LIRT by attracting active members from all
types of libraries; provide opportunities in which librarians from all
types of libraries can share ideas about library instruction; and encourage
the networking of professional library instruction groups at the state and
regional level.

LIRT is a forum for librarians to share ideas about library instruction and
a good place for instruction librarians to meet colleagues from many types
of libraries.  LIRT is seeking members to contribute actively within its
organization.  For LIRT membership information visit the URL:
