Deadline: December 9th How to Vote: www.sla.org/evote Overview of Comments Made at Fall Business Meeting Regarding Name Change Summarized below are some interesting points that were raise. These are being shared not to sway the vote of Georgia Chapter members in either direction. It is simply a summary of the thoughts and ideas that emerged in the Fall Business meeting discussion The name change is an attempt to broaden the membership base of the association. By changing to a name that resonates with a larger group of information and knowledge professionals, the Association will be able to grow and sustain itself. While the name change removes the L word from the Association name it does not change the job titles of the individual members. It will not change the roles individual members play in their current organization, nor will it detract from the identity of the individual member who still is associated with a title that contains the word librarian. An interesting alternative to the currently proposed name change would be to retain the current name and simply change the word Special to Specialized. SLA would stand for Specialized Libraries Association. Another option could include Specialized Libraries and Information Professional Association.
