Sections - The Seven Facets of NYLA


 

SMART Booth @ 2007 Conference
SMART Booth @ the 2007 Conference

  

There are as many specialties in librarianship as there are librarians -- but NYLA's members have coalesced into seven sections that represent the major aspects of libraries and the people who serve them.

All members may join a section as part of their basic membership fee, and can join additional sections for a small additional surcharge. By promoting the services that libraries provide -- and providing a home for the broad specialties of librarianship -- sections provide an invaluable service for members.

ASLS - Academic & Special Libraries Section

LAMS - Library Administration and Management Section

PLS - Public Libraries Section

RASS - Reference & Adult Services Section

SLMS - School Library Media Section

SMART - Section on Management of Information Resources & Technology

YSS - Youth Services Section
