The development of IASL as an organization is explored through a description and analysis of its projects and programs for the period from 1971-1995. Four problems in the development of social organizations -- adaptation, goal achievement, integration, and latency -- provide the theoretical framework for discussing initiatives such as the IASL/UNESCO Co-Action Project, the Support-a-Friend project, the School Library Leadership Development Award, the International Book exhibit, several jointly sponsored grants and awards, and the Assembly of Associations.
