    The Executive Board of the American Library Association approved
    the establishment of a certification program for library support staff
    at its meeting last week in Chicago. The LSSC Program is the
    first national, voluntary certification program for library support
    staff. Funded by a grant from the Institute of Museum and Library
    Services, the program will now enter a testing phase in five library
    organizations across the United States.

    Camilla Alire, ALA president, said, "This innovative certification
    program demonstrates the value of all library support staff to our
    national association and to our nation's libraries. LSS are critical to
    the success of our libraries in meeting the needs of our users."

    Here is the document that was approved by the Executive Board.
