"SLA--The Global Association of Library and Strategic Information Professionals"
We separate the short name of the association from the description of what we do. One should always use the entire name (acronym and tagline).
Let's break it down:
"SLA" - honor our history
"The" The one and only or the best (like The Ohio State University)
"Global" because we are and it would encourage more non-North American members
"Association of" gotta say something
" Library" Please don't leave us poor LIBRARIANS out!
"and Strategic Information" many of us do NOT provide knowledge, but information that our customers turn into knowledge. While it's nice to use such fancy and value-laden words, it's better to be accurate.
"Professionals" I add this with some trepidation since it might lead those without the MLS (or equivalent) to feel they aren't welcome
I suppose we could use the acronym GALSIP, but it might be thought of as non-gender neutral.
WHAT DO YOU THINK?
Or, we could be blatantly politically incorrect and use my previous suggestion: LIPSTICK
