LSTA purposes
Each state is required to develop a five-year plan which indicates how the state will spend LSTA block grant funds to fulfill the purposes of the Library Services and Technology Act (P.L.108-81). All LSTA expenditures must support at least one of these purposes.

The 2008 - 2012 Oregon LSTA Five-Year Plan
Oregon Library Services and Technology Act Five-Year State Plan, 2008-2012 (pdf version)
States create their own five-year plans to focus LSTA funds on state needs within the framework of the LSTA purposes. Not all of the LSTA purposes are necessarily included in each state's plan. The Oregon Five-Year State Plan was developed in conjunction with input from Oregon's library community. The goals of the Oregon plan are:
2008 - 2012 Oregon LSTA Five-Year Plan Goals
| Goal 1 |
All Oregonians have access to high-quality library and information resources, anytime, anywhere, that help them achieve success in school, in the workplace, and in their daily lives. |
| Goal 2 |
All Oregonians possess the information literacy skills necessary to find, evaluate, and use the information resources that they need to succeed. |
| Goal 3 |
All Oregonians experience the joy of reading and develop and maintain a high level of reading ability. |
| Goal 4 |
Libraries in Oregon offer expanded access to information and educational resources, enhanced access to networked information, improved linkages between and among all types of libraries and more effective services to populations targeted in LSTA because library staff have the knowledge, skills and competencies they need to effectively advance the six LSTA purposes.
|
| Goal 5 |
Oregon libraries use cost-effective technologies to expand and enhance the access that all Oregonians have to information resources. |
| Goal 6 |
Oregon libraries are centers of community life where Oregonians connect with information resources and with each other.
