Welcome to SALIS!
SALIS
(Substance Abuse Librarians &
Information Specialists) is an international association
of individuals and organizations with special interests
in the exchange and dissemination of alcohol, tobacco,
and other drug (ATOD) information.
SALIS
2009 Annual Conference: Call-for-Abstacts is now Open!
"Setting
Sail: Best Practices for the Next Decade"
is the theme of the 31st Annual SALIS Conference,
to be held in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada, on
May 5-8, 2009. Steeped in history and rich in
culture, Halifax is a beautiful maritime city and
one of the oldest towns in North America. The city
features a large natural harbor, several universities,
an increasing IT sector, and a burgeoning arts and
music scene. The meeting will be hosted by Ruth
Hart, Knowledge Manager in the Nova Scotia Department
of Health and the NS Department of Health Promotion
and Protection, and Sheila
LaCroix, Library Coordinator for the Centre for
Addiction and Mental Health.
The conference committee invites presentations that
focus on identifying or creating best practices in
librarianship, knowledge or information management
relating to all aspects of addictive behaviors, and
especially encourages presentations on the themes
of:
- Exploring and defining
the future role of librarians, knowledge or information
managers; and
- How we can use technology,
partnerships or other best practices to build
the relationships and to develop the skills to
get us there.
We hope you will join us in Halifax,
and participate as a presenter! For more information
