PNLA Membership

After many years of debate and discussion, the OLA Executive Board unanimously voted to end
our institutional membership in the Pacific Northwest Library Association (PNLA) at the end of our membership year. If you are interested in learning about all the factors that entered into the 
Board’s decision please click here.  

OLA's membership expired in June 2010. Thanks to all OLA members who served as PNLA Representative in past years.  This was not an easy decision or one that the board arrived at quickly.  Feel free to email me if you have questions about the board’s decision.  I can be reached at  anderson@sou.edu.
