recommendations of the Task Force on Equitable Access
To: <alacoun at ala.org>

As discussed at Annual, here is the Action Plan/Status Report on
Implementing the recommendations of the Task Force on Equitable Access to
Digital Content (EQUACC).****

** **

This report discusses steps and progress in implementing an Association-wide
strategy for addressing digital content issues, as well as assisting
libraries in the evaluation and adoption of new digital formats and content.
The structure and activities are based on the recommendations of the EQUACC
report. A brief description of each implementation/activity area is
provided, along with information on the status of the activity. ****

** **

In many instances, the Task Force recommended that additional resources be
allocated for each activity. Given that these are currently not available
due to the very tight ALA financial picture at this point, this plan instead
moves forward in all  recommendation areas through identifying some limited
additional resources, through use of existing staff, and through
Association-wide strategies involving collaboration among many different
units and member groups. ****

** **

Given the urgency of the challenges facing libraries, you will see that most
of the activities discussed in the action plan are already underway.****
