While ALA Connect is a superb professional networking resource for members of the American Library Association, it can be equally valuable for professionals who are not yet members of one of the largest and most active professional asssociations in the United States. Students, consultants, and other professionals with an interest in librarianship will find the resources in ALA Connect extremely valuable for connecting with ALA Members. It’s easy to get started.

Simply point your browser to connect.ala.org. Click on “Create New Account” on the lefthand menu.

Non ALA Members simply choose a username, and enter your email address. fill out the form with your First Name, Last Name, and organization if you choose. Agree to the ALA Connect User Guidelines (after you’ve read them, of course), and enter the CAPTCHA terms.

You’ll receive an email with your username and one-time log-in password. Simply enter that information or click the URL in the email, and you’re ready to take advantage of all that ALA connect has to offer.
