The US based Law Librarians Blog asked US law librarians to weigh in on two questions with regard to Special Interest Section (SIS) fees and we learn that this was one of the most popular surveys they’ve done
Here’s the introduction to the results…
1.? Who should have the authority to increase SIS fees?
We had three answers to choose from and a total of 352 people weighed in on this question.
20% of the people answering said that the AALL Executive Board should continue to have the authority to increase SIS fees without the approval of members.
21% percent of the people answering said that a simple voting majority of AALL?members as a whole should decide whether SIS fees should increase.
59% percent of the people answering said that whether to increase SIS fees should be left up to a vote of the individual SIS membership (by a simple voting majority).
2.? To whom should your SIS fees go?
We had three answers to choose from and a total of 333 people weighed in on this question.
22% percent said that the status quo should remain with 50% going to AALL and 50% going to the SIS.
44% percent said that the amount going to the SIS should be increased to 80% and only 20% should go to AALL.
34% percent said the entire amount of the SIS fees should go to the SIS.
