<p class="MsoNormal">"The American Library Association (ALA) Council
has
passed a resolution calling on the ALA to immediately address 'the
severe
national erosion of budgetary support to all libraries.'<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In the resolution, passed July 15 at the
association’s
Annual Conference in Chicago, the Council recommended the ALA develop
and
institute 'a critical crisis management approach” to remedy budget
losses. This approach would involve an action plan to alert
legislators,
stakeholders and constituents through every channel available,
including the
media.'"<o:p></o:p></p>
