Institutional Members
Institutional Membership is accorded to schools with programs accredited by the American Library Association and to other U.S. and Canadian schools that offer a graduate degree in library and information science or cognate fields.
Institutional Membership does not include a complimentary personal membership to ALISE. To receive special personal member benefits and discounts (such as annual conference member pricing) one must be a personal member of ALISE.
