PACCIN is made up of volunteers from around the country and abroad. They all represent the collections care profession and are dedicated in supporting the PACCIN information network. Listed below are a few ways in which you can get involved with PACCIN, but we are open to suggestions too!
First, and foremost become a member! If you value what PACCIN has to offer you, then you should consider supporting us by becoming a member. Membership provides the individual exclusive benefits such as program discounts and at the same time, you are helping us provide our program services to the overall community.
Another form of support is to contribute to our program services through our committees. Our information network comes from the PACCIN community itself, so here are a few examples of how you can help us:
