MISSION STATEMENT

The Serials Interest Group of All Libraries in Oklahoma [SIGALO] exists to address the mutual serials-related interests and concerns of technical personnel and librarians from Oklahoma libraries by providing an informal forum for discussion and a vehicle for cooperation and professional development.

MEMBERSHIP

The membership consists of technicians and librarians working in serials-related positions in Oklahoma libraries, including but not limited to:  collection development, acquisitions, cataloging, union listing, resource sharing, and research.

SIGALO is not affiliated with any other organization.
