What is networking? We hear it a lot nowadays and know it is important. Merriam-Webster defines it as “the exchange of information or services among individuals, groups, or institutions; specifically : the cultivation of productive relationships for employment or business.”
How do you network? A great way to network in your field, potential field or to find people that have similar interests as you, is through associations.
How do you find these associations? We have a great database: Associations Unlimited by Gale. It has been a premier source for information on associations and professional societies for 50 years. Go to www.slcl.org> Research >Quick Reference> Associations Unlimited.
You can do an association name or acronym search, location search, subject/word search, along with custom and expert searching. You can view your searches online or export mailing lists. The entries give description, contact information and links to the association.
If you have additional questions, call Reference at 314-994-3300 ext 2050.
