The Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) is looking for input in examining all grant programs, research, and leadership initiatives to assure they continue to meet the evolving needs of the American public. Provide your comments and ideas to help shape the future here.
IMLS is developing a strategic plan to guide its work and priorities over the next five years. The new plan will help IMLS to rigorously examine all of its grant programs, research, and leadership initiatives and to focus on results. The years ahead will be critical ones for the nation's libraries and museums and your help is needed to shape IMLS programs and services to most effectively meet public needs. They have developed five strategic questions and a special website to gather answers.
How can IMLS leverage its resources, position, reputation and relationships to...
1. Promote effective public access to physical and digital content?
2. Promote policy that sustains information access for the American public?
3. Support lifelong learning for a competitive workforce and engaged public?
4. Promote museums and libraries as community anchor institutions?
5. Achieve excellence in public management?
