Biographical Note for Library and Information Technology Association (LITA) :

In January 1978 the names was changed to Library and Information Technology Association (LITA).

Within these fields, the Division fosters research, promotes the development of appropriate standards, disseminates information, and provides a forum for the discussion of common problems (2).
