Professional Organizations

The Kansas Library Association

The KLA is a group of Public Librarians in Kansas that are based in Emporia. Emporia State is also the only university in Kansas that offers a Masters of Library Science degree (which I plan to get later on). One of the coolest parts about the KLA website is the "Job Bank," where you can go to see a long list of different librarian jobs available.
KLA also has a subscribable newsletter, yearly conferences, and different information sections about different types of librarians and libraries (University libraries, interlibrary loans, youth services, technical services, etc.)

The American Copyeditors Association

The ACEA is an organization dedicated to promoting excellent copyeditors around the nation. Sometimes it can be difficult to promote yourself as a copyeditor, freelancer, or editor because of the obscurities behind the title. Joining ACEA would allow new copyeditors a better shot at a career in the field through the educational conferences and social network. The ACEA also has a "job bank."
