To Join or Not To Join: How Librarians Make Membership Decisions about their Associations.

Kamm, Sue

Library Trends, v46 n2 p295-306 Fall 1997

Examines why librarians join professional associations. Although a literature review finds little research on the topic, the author's survey concludes that many factors influence decisions. Questions focus on which library associations respondents belong to; factors influencing decisions to join; reasons for not belonging; and reasons for dropping membership. (Author/AEF)
