Conference presentations are available to members in the Members-only section of the website.
The 2013 conference was hosted by Andrea Mitchell, Institute for Scientific Analysis; Julie Murphy, Pacific Institute for Research and Evaluation; and Tom Colthurst, Silver Gate Group, at the Berkeley City Club. Thanks for a great conference!

SALIS Raises the Alarm as Libraries, Databases Continue to Close
Members of SALIS are calling for urgent action to halt the closure of addiction specialist libraries and databases, before valuable resources and expertise are lost forever. An editorial by the SALIS Advocacy Committee outlines the problem and recommends action: "Collective Amnesia: Reversing the Global Epidemic of Addiction Library Closures" was published in the journal Addiction in June 2012. Read the Editorial and Comments from researchers and librarians -- and please share this important issue with colleagues in both the addiction and library communities.
Online Booksellers Benefit SALIS
SALIS has affiliations with three major online stores that sell books and other items: Amazon.com, Barnes & Noble.com and Hazelden. Through the affiliate program, SALIS receives a small commission on purchases made online from that retailer -- books, videos, gifts or anything they sell -- if the shopping originates from a link on the SALIS website. It costs you nothing extra, but you must shop via the links on this website for your purchase to benefit SALIS.
