LRRT was founded in 1968 to contribute toward the extension and improvement
of library research by providing public program opportunities for
describing and evaluating library research projects and for disseminating
their findings.  LRRT is dedicated to informing and educating ALA members
regarding research techniques and their usefulness in obtaining information.
The information must help users reach administrative decisions and solve
problems and expand the theoretical base of the field by serving as a forum
for discussion and action on issues related to the literature and
information needs for the field of library and information science.
