Blog Posting #7

The website i chose to review this week was http://www.ala.org/.  Much to my surprise this website offered a vast amount of information and resources for both educators, librarians and students, and even for people that want credible inforamtion and hot topics in books and articles.  The websites states that their goal is....." to promote library service and librarianship.” And to.....To provide leadership for the development, promotion, and improvement of library and information services and the profession of librarianship in order to enhance learning and ensure access to information for all.”  They use well known celebrities to help them promote reading and literacy.  They provide tutorials and webinars to instruct and inform on topics to promote literacy and interest in reading.  They even provide online courses to instruct and create opportunities for children and learning.  There is a slide on the fron page that displays alot of useful and interesting imformation that had me surfing this website for almost an hour!!
