Library Services and Technology Act Grants
The Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA)
The Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA) was signed into law September 30, 1996 as part of the Museum and Library Services Act. As a result, federal LSTA funds are distributed from the Institute of Museum and Library Services to states for the purposes of increasing the use of technology in libraries, fostering better resource sharing among libraries, and targeting library services to special populations. For more information about the current IMLS five-year plan, please visit the IMLS website.
The Indiana State Library manages distribution of LSTA funds according to an IMLS-approved five-year plan for the funds (also read the formal evaluation of the 2003-2007 five-year plan).
Information for Applicants: LSTA Sub-Grant Opportunities
The Indiana State Library annually awards sub-grants to Indiana libraries for programs that contribute toward five-year plan goals and objectives.
