Ottawa, Ontario - The Canadian Library Association (CLA) is pleased to
announce the launch of its World Wide Web site.  The site provides online

The site provides information arranged in the following main categories:
About CLA; Organization; Membership Services; Conference and Events;
Publications; and OLAM Service.  There is also an extensive contact
