CONSULTING

CONSULT is a web-accessible database of members who do consulting work. It is sponsored by National SLA. Consultants in the Pacific Northwest Chapter should list themselves in CONSULT. If the Employment/Consultation committee is asked about consultants in the area, or if a need for a consultant should arise from a Needs Assessment, we will use the listings for the Pacific Northwest region in this database. We will also print the regional listings for anyone who asks, such as Seattle Public Library or potential employers.
