Washington, D.C., February 13, 2004 —The Special Libraries Association’s (SLA), Board of Directors has approved the creation of the new Archival and Preservation Caucus. SLA agreed to the proposal during its 2004 Leadership Summit in January.
SLA Caucuses are informal groups within the Association intended to serve as a focus for the interaction of members who share a common interest not covered by any Association Chapter, Division, or Committee. The Archival and Preservation Caucus provides a new forum to support information professionals who are interested in collection and maintenance of digital or paper-based materials. Sandra Schock, Drexel University, Marlton, NJ, will serve as the Caucus Convener.
SLA Executive Director Janice R. Lachance observed, “the creation of the Archival and Preservation Caucus fills a longstanding need to focus on a more traditional aspect of information management that continues to serve a very useful purpose.”
For information on the Archival and Preservation Caucus or instructions on “How to Join,” please contact Diana Gonzales 202-939-3671 or email membership@sla.org.
