HISTORY OF SIGALO
The organization initially was formed on
November 4, 1993, by serials librarians
from four Oklahoma academic
institutions.
The interest expressed and the need for
this type of organization was evidenced
by the favorable attendance at its first
two semi-annual meetings and by the
strong support received from represented
institutions.
The organization's first Fall meeting
was held at Oklahoma Christian
University on December 3, 1993, when its
official name was adopted.
Twenty-two individuals representing
eighteen institutions attended.
The organization's first Spring meeting
was held at Oklahoma Baptist University
on April 15, 1994. Attendance
varied slightly from the Fall meeting,
although the number attending and the
number of institutions represented
remained about the same - twenty-two
individuals representing seventeen
institutions.
At the Spring 2005 meeting held at Rogers State University, the
organization unanimously adopted a name change to reflect the
ever-increasing needs of its members. In order to include all
Oklahoma libraries and librarians, the name was changed to the Serials
Interest Group of All Libraries in Oklahoma.
