Membership for information professionals living outside the member states of the Council of Europe
- There is no membership fee for information professionals living and working outside the member states of the Council of Europe.
- Your membership application will not be accepted without evidence that you are a librarian or information professional – for example, evidence of valid membership of a national or regional professional association (e.g. AHILA, MLA, CMLA etc.) or a letter of reference – and verifiable details of your institutional affiliation.
Institutional membership
- Since individual membership of EAHIL became free, the benefit of institutional membership for libraries has greatly diminished.
- At present, we encourage new members to use individual membership instead of institutional membership.
