\nLarger associations often include a variety of Special Interest Groups (SIGs), divisions and round tables, as well as state and regional chapters. Many associations offer students membership at steeply reduced rates, so take advantage of that to advance your career.<\/p>\n\n
\nNOTE: ALA has many divisions (http:\/\/www.ala.org\/aboutala\/divs<\/a>) and Round Tables (http:\/\/www.ala.org\/aboutala\/rts<\/a>) designed to provide leadership and guidance for information professionals in any type of library or information organization. They also provide an extensive list of affiliated library organizations (http:\/\/www.ala.org\/aboutala\/affiliates\/affiliates\/current<\/a>).<\/span><\/li>\n
