crl-15240	Miller, William	The Role of Professional Associations. Ed. Joy Thomas. Champaign: University of Illinois Graduate School of Library and Information Science, Library Trends 46 (fall 1977): 229–425. $18.50.	1998-09-01	2	.pdf	application/pdf	1314	71	63	William Fisher’s “The Value of Profes­ sional Associations” comes to the remark­ able conclusion that “without such asso­ ciations of which they become officers, without professional association confer­ ences at which they attend and/or deliver papers and go to meetings, and without professional association publications of which they become editors, reviewers, and/or authors, library directors would have to devote more of their time to the day-to-day running of their libraries. Also noteworthy is Sue Kamm’s survey of why librarians choose to join associations (for networking, receipt of publications, op­ portunity to contribute to the profession, and so on).	cache/crl-15240.pdf	txt/crl-15240.txt
