Academic Division Petition to Form HEA Section |
1. Background
The Academic Division is pursuing the addition of a new section: Higher Education Administration.
Rationale: Librarians who begin their career as special librarians in academic institutions are often promoted over time into more general administrative positions. This section gives those special academic librarians a place to discuss higher education administration issues at SLA.
A minimum number (15) of Academic Division members need to sign the petition agreeing to form the Higher Education Administration Section. By signing, Division members agree to join the new Section, if approved by the SLA Board. There is no additional cost for current Academic Division members to join the Section.
