Alliance's library opens
The Alliance is thrilled to open our newly established library to the public. The library is a growing collection of over 500 titles focusing on sexual assault and abuse, including books, periodicals, videotapes, curriculums, training manuals, handbooks, workbooks, resource books and guides. It also includes fact sheets, pamphlets, brochures and conference and report materials. All materials can be viewed once a week, when the librarian is present. Videos are available for loan. The library catalog, which is searchable by subject matter, title and author is available online at www.nycagainstrape.org/ research_library.html. Through affiliation with other libraries, the quality of services and materials available to the general public, survivors, educators and treatment providers will continue to grow. For information on materials and operating hours, email: librarian@nycagainstrape.org.

The Institute, a joint venture of the Alliance and the New York State Coalition Against Sexual Assault, held a total of eight trainings throughout NY for the State's Department of Health-funded rape crisis programs.
