Not So Special Anymore

Link to July 2 Library Journal post, "'Special Libraries' Name a Burden, So SLA Considers Name Change".

What's in a name?

Well, in the case of the Special Libraries Association -- confusion and a lack of "positioning in the marketplace".

Your feedback is encouraged.

They could go the KFC route -- what fried chicken? -- and just emphasize the acronym.

All of this makes me wonder....how did special librarians feel back in the mid-1970s when the Symbionese Liberation Army (SLA) was all over the news.
