Bringing A C R L  Home: The C hapters
ACRL chapters (there are twenty-one of them) 

cover twenty-seven states and one Canadian prov­
ince. The chapters provide a framework, close to 
home, for librarians to share ideas, study com ­
mon problems, and meet for social and profes­
sional purposes.

A CRL chapters hold program meetings, spon­
sor workshops, publish new sletters, undertake 
studies, and promote legislative programs at the 
grass-roots level.

So far during 1979, chapters have sponsored 
program meetings on such topics as: “Economic 
Reality: Strategies for the Academic Library,” “Is 
Anyone out T h ere Listening? Comm unications 
and the Academic L ib rary ,” and “ In terp reting 
On-Line Reference Services in Libraries.”

The ACRL national organization has begun a 
new program to encourage ch a p ter activ ities. 
Each ch ap ter is now eligib le to receiv e $ 1 .5 0  
from ACRL for each national personal member 
living within the geographic area served by the 
chapter.

To join an ACRL chapter, find the chapter that 
serves your area on the list provided. W rite the 
chapter president for information on membership 
and chapter activities.

To form an ACRL chapter where none exists or 
to affiliate an existing organization of college and 
research librarians with ACRL, you may petition 
the ACRL board for chapter status. For more in­
form ation on e s ta b lis h in g  a c h a p te r , see 
“Guidelines for ACRL Chapters,” in the Novem­
b e r 1978 issue o f C & R L  N ew s, or contact the
