What's great about Enhanced Institutional Memberships (EIM)?

It removes the cost barrier that many library workers face		It helps employers provide consistent continuing education and engagement opportunities		It supports wider, more diverse participation in NJLA
It creates enhanced opportunities for engagement with colleagues throughout NJLA		It supports equity, diversity, & inclusion by allowing more library workers to be active members of NJLA, making an association that better reflects NJ's racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic makeup of libraries		For many organizations, it's cost-effective because it eliminates the need to underwrite the cost of NJLA Personal Membership for multiple employees

GAP-PERIOD MEMBERSHIPS

If your personal membership is set to expire soon, NJLA has set up a system to create shorter-term individual memberships to cover this transitional gap. You can still renew your membership now, and then be covered by your institution when it joins as an EIM, without any fear of gaps in communication or unnecessary overpayment. Use the links below to renew your individual membership at any time during this six-month gap period.

Don't forget that there are still barrier-free ways to join or renew your NJLA membership, including applying for sponsored membership (free to you, no questions asked) or by selecting the hardship rate on the individual membership application form.
