History of Key Action Areas

In 1998 the ALA Council voted commitment to five Key Action Areas as guiding principles for directing the Association’s energies and resources: Diversity, Equity of Access, Education and Continuous Learning, Intellectual Freedom, and 21st Century Literacy. With the development of a series of strategic plans, beginning with ALA Goal 2000 and ALAction2005 these principles have expanded to seven Key Action Areas which are supplemented by ALA Ahead to 2010, the Association’s current strategic plan.
