ALA Washington Office
News and Media
On September 1, 2008, ALA will
unveil a redesigned web site that is the culmination of two years of gathering
information from focus groups, interviews, usability tests, surveys and other
feedback loops.
We invite you to preview the site's new look at www.ala.org/preview, and to
see the Washington Office's work in progress at http://staging.ala.org/ala/aboutala/offices/washoff/index.cfm. Beginning August 1, information on our web pages will NOT be updated
until the new launch in September. Please check the District Dispatch, the
Washington Office blog for regular updates and information during this time. You may contact the ALA Library at library@ala.org (or
800-545-2433, x2153) if further assistance is needed locating specific content
or updates during our migration.

Legislative Action Center
The Legislative Action Center (LAC) is ALA's pipeline to Capitol Hill. It features updates on all the important library-related legislation making its way through Congress. More importantly, it allows you to send an email or fax directly to your Members of Congress! Be sure to type in a personalized story or description about how the legislation you're writing about impacts your library.
If you experience problems with or have questions about the LAC, please email Andy Bridges.
And don't hesitate to pick up the phone, too! Call the U.S. Capitol switchboard at 202-225-3121 to contact your Members of Congress.
