ADVERTISING AND MARKETING DIVISION PROCEDURES MANUAL

The Association publications policy as adopted by the Board of Directors on March 3, 1955, states:

"The Special Libraries Association recognizes publications as one of the most distinctive elements of professional life. The Association believes that while publications serve some of the members as a productive means of self expression, the products are equally important to all members as research tools; that such publications are similarly useful to a broad public and, consequently, bring honor to both author and sponsor; that a strong and diversified publications program will improve and strengthen the general public understanding of the place of special libraries, special librarians and this Association have in our way of life."

Division Produced Publications

Publications that are of limited Division interest, including bulletins, are the full responsibility of the Division. Copies of all publications issued should be sent to SLA Headquarters for citation in SPECIAL LIBRARIES or THE SPECIALIST and for permanent retention in the Association's archives. The Association is also prepared to help promote Division publications by issuing press releases to the library press and other appropriate media at no charge. The Division should supply information describing the contents and giving full particulars of price, where available, how to make checks payable, etc.

The Association imprint and credo: "SPECIAL LIBRARIES ASSOCIATION PUTTING KNOWLEDGE TO WORK", should not be used on Division and Section publications (exception: Bulletins) unless the item has been submitted to Association Headquarters for such permission.

REMEMBER use of the Association's name reflects official approval of the publications.
