OUR
ORGANIZATION
Founded in 1922, the Pittsburgh
Chapter has over 130 members who serve Pittsburgh 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 Pittsburgh Chapter),
28 subject divisions, and numerous committees. This structure provides
opportunities for each member to participate in the association.

CONSULTATION INFORMATION FOR ORGANIZATIONS
The
Special Libraries Association offers free consultations to organizations
that are investigating ways to address their internal information needs.
The Pittsburgh Chapter's Consultant is available for up to one half-day
to assist in clarifying the organization's requirements and objectives
for its information resources.
Consultations can assist with identifiying general issues, but SLA requirements
do not permit the consultant to make specific recommendations. SLA International
maintains a database of independent consultants who can be retained if
the organization decides that more specific recommendations or guidance
are necessary.
For more information on consulting services, check out this brief
presentation.
To request a consultation, contact:
Denise Callihan, Pittsburgh
Chapter Consultant
