At the SLA Annual Conference, the SLA members interested in creating a new SLA Taxonomy Division gained approval to circulate a petition to identify members for the proposed division, which will focus on ways to organize and structure information so that content is accessible and useful.
The proposed Taxonomy Division would offer a practical context for exploring issues and sharing experiences related to planning, creating, maintaining and using taxonomies, thesauri, authority files,
and other controlled vocabularies and information structures.
To learn more or to sign the petition agreeing to join this new division, go to http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.
You must be a current SLA member to sign the petition.
Contact Margie Hlava ([email protected]) or Janice Keeler ([email protected]) for more information or to volunteer to help get this division started.
