of library research by providing public program opportunities for
describing and evaluating library research projects and for disseminating
their findings. LRRT is dedicated to informing and educating ALA members
regarding research techniques and their usefulness in obtaining
information. The information must help users reach administrative
decisions and solve problems and expand the theoretical base of the field
by serving as a forum for discussion and action on issues related to the
literature and information needs for the field of library and information
science.****
