The Military Libraries Discussion List

MLD always welcomes new members! MLD-L now open to all other SLA members upon request!

The Military Libraries Division (MLD) Discussion, SLA-DMIL, is one of the oldest e-mail discussion lists of the Special Libraries Association (SLA). The list began in 1994, when MLD asked the Defense Technical Information Center (DTIC) to sponsor a discussion list, MLD-L. The purpose of the original list was to distribute the MLD quarterly bulletin and to provide a vehicle for timely information exchange. In 1999, the MLD Executive Board requested that MLD-L focus on MLD business and activities. MLD-L became a moderated list open to MLD members only. In 2001, MLD-L moved to a SLA server and became SLA-DMIL. As of March, 2009, the SLA-DMIL opened to all SLA members interested in participating.

Currently there are 300 subscribers to SLA-DMIL. Our purpose remains the same, we seek to provide a vehicle for timely information exchange. We try to limit our postings so that you will receive only one posting per week. The week’s posting might contain several announcements.
