Since its start in 1936, Palinet has been devoted to developing relationships that promote resource sharing between libraries. Today they coordinate the transfer of research materials between hundreds of libraries and museums in the Mid-Atlantic region.

Join SLA for a tour of the Palinet facilities and learn more about Palinet and the function it serves the library community. The event will include a presentation on Palinet and a behind the scenes look at their University City headquarters followed by a question and answer session with key Palinet employees.

Email Katherine Fischer (kfischer@drexel.edu) no later than Sunday, June 17th if you are interested in signing up or if you have any questions. This is a great opportunity to chat with your MSLIS classmates, network with professionals and get a ‘behind the scenes’ look at how your library skills can be applied to a non-traditional library setting!
