About us

Founded in 1972, SLA Europe is one of the largest regional communities of the Special Libraries Association. We are a thriving network of information professionals and organisations, representing all sectors and areas of the profession, across Europe to share and benefit from each others’ knowledge, thoughts, and experience. We offer and regularly organise a wide range of networking events, including professional development sessions, talks by leading industry experts, and awards to support attendance at various conferences hosted by SLA.

If you are an information professional and considering SLA membership, please take a look at our upcoming events and top ten reasons to join us. If you are already a member –  why not volunteer with us?
