MainMenu is pleased to air the first of a two part presentation of the ACB Information Access Committee - Information 411 presentation from the 2015 ACB Conference and Convention. This presentation will inform you on the activities of the IAC, what the committee has been involved with during the past year, what are some of the current information access activities that they are currently working on, and what is coming up in the future. The IAC would like to encourage you to become a part of the voice for change as you work to encourage more access to information, and let them know of issues that they need to work on in the future. Change will not come unless we are willing to insist on it changing. And, together we can make change and improvements in access to information happen today and in the future...
