The ALA Sustainability Round Table (SustainRT) is pleased to announce free memberships for LIS students!
Beginning September 1, 2017, students may join SustainRT for free. To qualify for a free membership, students must be:
- Currently enrolled in ALA-accredited Master of Library Science/Master of Library and Information Science (MLS/MLIS) program.
- Student members of ALA.
SustainRT strives to achieve a more equitable, healthy and economically viable society by providing resources for the library community to support sustainability through curriculum development; collections; exhibits; events; advocacy, communication, library buildings and space design. SustainRT is a member of the ALA’s recently formed Office of Diversity, Literacy and Outreach Services (ODLOS) which supports library and information science workers in creating responsible and all-inclusive spaces that serve and represent the entire community.
Membership affords ample leadership opportunities to infuse sustainability throughout the library profession.
