TOP 10 REASONS TO JOIN SALIS
10. People
actually laugh at your librarian jokes.
9. Thousands
of years of collective expertise in the field (but
we are NOT dinosaurs, thank you very much).
8. Dues
more than pay for themselves in saved research hours
alone -- you never hear "I really don't have time to
find that for you" from SALIS colleagues.
7. You're
both a member and a client. Ask for what you
need, help out others, rinse, repeat. Suddenly your resource
center looks fuller and has more shine!
6. Fulfill
those childhood magician fantasies: you'll look like
Merlin when you pull hard-to-find information out of your
hat, thanks to the lightning-fast SALIS e-mail list.
5. Travel
to exotic locales for conferences. Great company,
great food...and you'll learn a bunch of stuff, too!
4. Strength
in numbers. SALIS fights hard to maintain resources
vital to the profession.
3. We
don't just say we're an international organization - we mean
it. Gain instant access to substance abuse collections
worldwide, plus international perspectives on hot topics and
key issues.
2. Feed
your library with great new books and other resources
gleaned from the SALIS Newsletter and our fantastic members-only
e-mail list.
1. Where
else are you going to find a bunch of people who
think discussing online resource catalogs is FUN?
