Our Organization

Founded in 1919, the Philadelphia Chapter has over 300 members who serve Delaware Valley industry, business, research, educational and technical institutions. We are employed by corporations, government agencies, public and university libraries, newspapers and other organizations requiring or providing specialized information.

The Special Libraries Association is an international professional organization of more than 12,500 members. Since its founding in 1909, SLA has worked to meet its goal to advance the leadership role of the special librarian/information professional by providing a variety of services to enhance it members' professional skills and advance the interest of the special libraries communities. The association is made up of 56 regional chapters (including the Philadelphia Chapter), 28 subject divisions, and numerous committees. This structure provides opportunities for each member to participate in the association.

Is SLA right for you?

Information professionals, special librarians and others who work in special libraries serving corporate, research, government, technical and academic institutions should belong. The Philadelphia Chapter of the Special Libraries Association understands the challenges of finding and managing information for local organizations and institutions.
