Military Librarians Division: 50 years of partnership with SLA

Information Outlook, April, 2003

2003 marks 50 years of cooperation and partnership between SLA and the Military Librarians Division. The Military Librarians Division brings together those interested in the betterment of military library service. It is a forum within SLA for the exchange of ideas and information on military library management and was conceived to help members improve services to their constituencies. The libraries represented by MLD cross many disciplines: academia (military academies and senior service schools); law (Judge Advocate General schools, general counsel); science and technology (research and development centers, service labs, Naval Observatory, weather, communications, computer projects); health (general hospitals, patient libraries, medical schools, safety, environmental); and public libraries for families on military bases. MLD library staffs work to support a successful national defense.

At the Annual Conference in New York City, look for us in blue polo shirts with the gold MLD logo. Stop by the Morgan suite, across from the registration desk, and celebrate with us in a military-style cake-cutting ceremony at 3 pm, Monday, June 9, 2003.
