Draft resolution about tribal libraries
I have copied the two resolved clauses from a draft resolution about making it possible for tribal colleges and universities to become members of the Federal Deposit Library Program. I would expect this will pass with minimal discussion. It appears to be a logical step to me and I will plan to support the resolution unless I hear something to the contrary. If any of you know of reasons why this would not be a good idea, please post your thoughts or email me. Thanks.

Kansas Chapter Councilor to ALA
1. RESOLVED, that the American Library Association (ALA) and its respective units make support for the membership of tribal colleges and universities in the Federal Depository Library Program a priority; and be it further
2. RESOLVED, that the ALA Council call upon the ALA Executive Director and the ALA Washington Office to work with the GPO to ensure that all tribal colleges interested in joining the FDLP be supported in that effort.
