The Canadian Library Association/Association canadienne des
bibliothèques has several interest groups covering a wide-range of
subjects. The purpose of the Interest Groups is to allow members of the
Association, having a common interest in some aspect of library service
that is not dealt with the division/committee structure of CLA/ACB, to
meet and correspond on the subject. This is facilitated by the provision
of meeting space during the annual conference and through the use
of Feliciter, web
pages and newsletters to communicate news of interest to both the
Interest Group's members and to the Association's general
membership.
CLA/ACB Interest Groups are not as formally organized as the divisions
and committees of the Association. Their membership is open to all
members of CLA/ACB who pay the required fee, and there is no limit to
the number of members each group may have. There must be a convenor for
each Interest Group chosen by the members at least every two years. Any
other structure within a particular Interest Group shall be determined
by the members of that group. The convenor must be a current
CLA/ACB member.
CLA/ACB is now pleased to offer the possibility for individuals living
outside Canada to join an Interest Group. Please note that this category
does not provide CLA/ACB personal membership status and
benefits. More information
about this the Interest Group Only Membership category available
here.
