Founded in 1985, the
Standing Committee on Lesbian and Gay Issues was proposed as an
organizational vehicle for 1) promoting the discussion of issues important to the
lesbian and gay community; 2) raising the visibility of lesbian and gay law librarians
within the Association; and 3) providing professional and social contacts for standing
committee members. History ...
Today, these goals continue to be achieved through the standing committee's impressive
record of annual meeting educational programs, publications, AALL professional activity,
and social opportunities. The activities of the standing committee are guided by its
bylaws.
