Library and Information Technology Association
The Library and Information Technology Association (LITA) is a division of the American Library Association (ALA), which is the oldest and largest library association in the world.〔American Library Association, (), "American Library Association", 2014〕
LITA became a division of ALA in 1966 in response to the changing technological environment in libraries. LITA advocates for equitable access to information and technology, placing a focus on providing an environment that fosters investigation and enables the implementation of new technology within libraries. LITA is headquartered in the Chicago ALA offices.〔American Library Association, (), "About LITA", 2014〕 Mary Taylor has held the position of LITA Executive Director (CEO) since 2006. Rachel Vacek was elected Vice-President/President-Elect of the LITA Board of Directors in May 2013 and serves as the Association's president in 2014/2015.〔Melissa Prentice, (), "2013 LITA Election Results", 2013〕
LITA celebrated its 40th anniversary in 2006.
== Name ==
During the division’s initial stages of development in 1966, it was pressed by the ALA’s Reference and User Services Association that the name should include the words “Information Science”,〔Salmon, Stephen R., (), "LITA's First Twenty-Five Years: A Brief History", 2014〕 and as a result of this and a report made by a Committee of Organization, the Information Science and Automation Division (ISAD) of the ALA came into existence. The name was later changed by the bylaws committee to the Library and Information Technology Association (or LITA, as it is more commonly known) in 1978 due to the expansion of the division’s scope in the twelve years that it had been operational.
