"At a time when our public is challenged on multiple fronts, we need to recommit ourselves to the ideal of providing equal access to everyone, anywhere, any time, and in any format . . . By finally embracing equity of access, we will be affirming our core values, recognizing realities and assuring our future." Carla D. Hayden, ALA President, 20034The many assumptions about current library outreach servicesthat they're offsite, depend on special funding, and are administered by specific staffno longer reflect the realities of providing equitable library services to the audiences who most need them. Providing equity of access is the business of every department in the library. Growing from the leadership initiative of 200304 ALA President Carla Hayden, this multifaceted guide answers both "why" and "how." Following successful models from around the country, any library can take steps to improve access to information for all, encompassed within the library's service delivery system. Quality service appears in a wide variety of programs.
