The Seminar on the Acquisition of Latin American Library Materials (SALALM) is the oldest professional Area Studies library organization for academic librarians, archivists, book vendors, scholars, and students who specialize in Latin American and Caribbean Studies. ^[1] Members are from at least 20 different countries. ^[2] SALALM promotes better library services and purchasing power among individual members and member libraries. ^[3] With the Secretariat based at New York University, it is an international non-profit professional organization with three official languages: English, Spanish, and Portuguese. ^[4] SALALM is an affiliate of the American Library Association. ^[5] As of May 2015, the organization had 242 personal and 84 institutional members including librarians, archivists, book dealers, vendors, and university libraries. ^[6]

History

SALALM had its first meeting in 1956 with approximately 30 librarians and professors and one international bookseller met in Florida at Chinsegut Hill ^[5] in a meeting convened by the Pan-American Union. ^[7] Their discussions were “concerned with the selection, acquisition, and processing of library materials from the Latin American nations and the dependent territories of the Caribbean.” ^[5] Although participants thought this meeting would be a one-time occurrence, ^[8] they agreed there was a need for more study of the challenges with acquisitions and to continue the discussion by meeting for annual seminars held at the invitation of an institution or organization. Each conference has a theme, ^[9] like the 57th annual conference theme, "Popular Culture: Arts and Social Change in Latin America," and plenary sessions may discuss the theme, present new research or projects related to Latin American Librarianship, or share committee reports.

Since the 1960s, SALALM has published a number of serials and monograph series including a newsletter, conference proceedings, progress reports, and bibliographies. ^[10] Conference proceedings cover topics like "The Handbook of Latin American Studies: Its Automated History and a Comparison of Available Formats." ^[11] The archival records of the organization are held at the Benson Latin American Collection at the University of Texas at Austin. ^[12]

Since 1956, SALALM has provided a unique national and international forum that focuses on library collection development and services related to Latin American resources. SALALM was incorporated as a nonprofit organization in 1968, and the members adopted a constitution and bylaws and elected A. Curtis Wilgus as the first president. An Executive Board administers SALALM from the Secretariat, which, as of July 2023, is headquartered at the New York University Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies (previously at the Latin American Library at Tulane University). The operational aspects are managed by several Executive Board committees. Program committees take care of intellectual and technical activities related to the resources and services of libraries with Latin American collections. The SALALM Secretariat is typically housed for three to five year periods at institutions that have strong Latin American programs. Jill Baron and Angela Carreño are the current Co-Executive Directors.

Purpose

SALALM's primary mission revolves around the control and dissemination of bibliographic information about all types of Latin American publications and the development of library collections of Latin Americana in support of educational research. ^[15] SALALM also promotes cooperative efforts to achieve better library service. SALALM is a forum for the unique challenges of Latin American and Caribbean Studies Librarians and with related professional development. In collaboration with REFORMA, SALALM also provides library materials for the Spanish and Portuguese-speaking populations in the United States. SALALM shares and disseminates the work of its member through an annual conference proceeding. ^[16]

Awards and scholarships

SALALM currently sponsors a series of Awards and Scholarships including the SALALM Conference Attendance Scholarship, the Dan C. Hazen SALALM Fellowship, Enlace Travel Awards, the José Toribio Medina Award, and the SALALM Award for Institutional Cooperation. ^[17] SALALM also awards honorary memberships to retired members who have a long record of service to the organization combined with professional achievements. ^[18]

Since 1986, SALALM has sponsored the Enlace Travel Awards, which provides funding for librarians and information professionals from Latin American and the Caribbean to attend SALALM's annual meetings. ^[19] To date, the awards have funded conference attendance opportunities from every Spanish-speaking country in the Americas in addition to Brazil, Guyana, Jamaica, Trinidad and Tobago, and the Basque Country in Spain. ^[20]

Since 2011, SALALM has provided scholarships to students enrolled in ALA-accredited library and information science programs. Originally a general scholarship, the scholarship now funds attendance at the group's annual conference. ^[21]
