Benefits of membership

Potential Corporate Members! Specific corporate member information.

All Members

Senior Members

If you have been active in the field for more than 5 years and have at least 3 peer-reviewed publications you are eligible for Senior Membership. The extra cost of this type of membership contributes to other areas of the Society e.g., travel grants for student members. In addition to the standard member benefits Senior Members can (if they wish) be listed in the AISBQ and the AISB website.

Institutional and Corporate Members

Institutional and Corporate membership is available to organisations such as libraries and businesses. Institutional membership is only available to public institutions (eg. libraries). Members of both types recieve all the standard member benefits. In addition, institutional and corporate members gain:

• The opportunity to place logos on the Society's web site.
• Free advertising or features in the AISBQ or on the web site.
• Free job advertising through the web site.
• The opportunity to consult the Committee and the Fellows of the SSAISB
