Nonprofit Overview
Causes: International, International Studies
Mission: Since its creation in 1955, salalm's work focuses on improving access to and dissemination of bibliographic information about all formats of publications concerning latin america and the caribbean. In recent years material from the iberian countries were incorporated into our mission. A major concern is supporting research through improving library and archival collections, often through cooperative efforts on a regional, national and international level. Attention to library and archival development within latin america and the caribbean is always of concern, and annually several professionals from those areas receive the enlace fellowship to attend for presenting a paper at our annual conference.
Programs: At annual conferences scholars, librarians, archivists, publishers, book dealers and others concerned with information resources in support of latin american, caribbean and iberian studies can discuss matters of common interest. Salalm publishes research papers and bibliographical compilations for these geographical areas. Scholarships to support ma-level graduate students in information science or archival management programs are key contributions to professional development of subject area specialists.
