Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA)

Grant monies from the federal Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA) grant program enable TBLC to offer innovative projects to member libraries. LSTA grant monies are used as seed money to begin projects which libraries then integrate into the services they provide to their users. The Library Services and Technology Act is a state-based program with a broad mandate to use technology to bring information to people in innovative and effective ways, and to assure that library service is accessible to all, especially those who have difficulty using the library.

Recent LSTA funded projects have brought a full range of technology and library skills training to member library staff, expanded the database of Florida library holdings on OCLC and begun the development of regional, user-initiated interlibrary loan to the region.
