Reference and User Services Association (RUSA)

Learn. Network. Grow. With RUSA membership, we put you first. Online discussion forums, webinars, eCourses and listservs are just a few ways to learn with RUSA. Stay current with weekly communication about what’s happening in RUSA and with the peer reviewed journal Reference and User Services Quarterly (RUSQ) which outlines key updates and wider issues related to the reference and user services profession. Network with more than 3,000 RUSA members across the nation online and at two annual conferences which include author panels and social events. Advance your skills with leadership opportunities in one of our six specialty sections or one or more of our 127 committees – some of the most popular are the Book & Media Awards committees, where you’ll choose the best adult books of the year – the only adult book awards at the American Library Association. RUSA serves all types of libraries in reference, user services, adult readers advisory and collection development as well as resource sharing, genealogy, archives, business reference and reference technology. RUSA is a division of the American Library Association.
