SMART Strategic Plan

Statement of Purpose

SECTION ON MANAGEMENT OF INFORMATION RESOURCES AND TECHNOLOGY
(Organized in 1959 as the Resources and Technical Services Section. Name changed to SMART in 1980/81.)

SMART serves personnel in all types of libraries and information centers. SMART recognizes that information exists in a variety of forms and places, and that information transfer often takes place without reference to the printed page.
