SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: IMLS is 

particularly interested in public 

comments that help the agency to: 

• Evaluate whether the proposed 

collection of information is necessary 

for the proper performance of the 

functions of the agency, including 

whether the information will have 

practical utility; 

• Evaluate the accuracy of the 

agency’s estimate of the burden of the 

proposed collection of information 

including the validity of the 

methodology and assumptions used; 

• Enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and 

• Minimize the burden of the 

collection of information on those who 

are to respond, including through the 

use of appropriate automated electronic, 

mechanical, or other technological 

collection techniques, or other forms of 

information technology, e.g., permitting 

electronic submissions of responses. 

I. Background 

The Institute of Museum and Library 

Services is the primary source of federal 

support for the Nation’s libraries and 

museums. We advance, support, and 

empower America’s museums, libraries, 

and related organizations through grantmaking, research, and policy 

development. To learn more, visit 

www.imls.gov. 

II. Current Actions 

The purpose of the Native American 

Library Services Basic Grants Program is 

to assist Native American tribes in 

improving library services for their 

communities. IMLS recognizes that 

information needs and approaches to 

meeting them are evolving at an 

unprecedented pace in all communities, 

and to operate within this environment 

effectively for the benefit of their users, 

libraries must be able to both strengthen 

existing services and move quickly to 

adopt new and emerging technologies. 

The two goals for this program will be 

(1) to improve services for learning and 

accessing information in a variety of 

formats to support needs for education, 

workforce development, economic and 

business development, health 

information, critical thinking skills, and 

digital literacy skills; and (2) to enhance 

the skills of the current library 

workforce and leadership through 

training, continuing education, and 

opportunities for professional 

development.

meetings is to review and evaluate 

proposals as part of the selection
