OUR HISTORY
The Health Sciences Library Association of Louisiana (HSLAL) had its first meeting in 1976 at the Louisiana Library Association Conference. A second organizational meeting was held in the fall of that same year.

On June 3, 1977, HSLAL members met in Pineville, LA. It was at this meeting that the members decided that HSLAL should remain independent from the Louisiana Library Association and the Louisiana Hospital Association.
