The Indiana Library Federation (ILF) is a professional organization for Indiana's librarians, library workers, and trustees. It is headquartered in Indianapolis, Indiana. The ILF was created as a result of the Indiana Library Association (501(c)6) being merged into the Indiana Library Trustee Association (501(c)3) in 1990.[1] The two organizations often had conferences together and merged to take advantage of ILTA's tax-exempt status.[1][2]

Indiana Library Association

The Indiana Library Association was formed as the Library Association of Indiana in 1891.[3] The organization's name was changed to the Indiana Library Association in 1897.[1] E. M. Thomson was the association's first president.[3]

Indiana Library Trustee Association

The Indiana Library Trustee Association is an association for public library board members, within the Indiana Library Federation.[4] The organization started holding regular meetings in 1908.[5]

Federation

ILF is made up of four affiliates.[6]

  • Indiana Public Library Association (IPLA)
  • Association of Indiana School Library Educators (AISLE)
  • Indiana Academic Library Association (IALA)
  • Indiana Library Trustee and Supporter Association (ILSTA)
