Q&A
Why should I apply to be a GLISA officer?
Being an officer means cultivating highly relevant and transferable skills that will serve you well as a librarian. Don't have library experience yet? Being an officer for your ALA student chapter is a great way to get a meaningful, library-adjacent experience! Not to mention, it looks great on your resume.
How much time commitment is needed for being a GLISA officer?
GLISA officers can expect about 6 to 8 hours of work per month. Meetings are held for 1 hour every two weeks. Event attendance is about 2 hours a month, while event planning and officer duties can range between 2-4 hours a month.
Can I talk with an officer if I have any questions?
Please do! We can be reached through any of the following channels:

I don’t want to be an officer, but I’d like to suggest ideas for events you can host or provide other feedback. Can I do that?
We’d love that! Our goal is to host events that students will find interesting, fun, and engaging. Please reach out to us with any suggestions or feedback!
See you there!
Our mission is to continue providing more great opportunities for you, GLISA Fellows!
With the support of GLISA members and SLIS students/faculty/staff, we are raising money for meaningful events throughout the year. Through these donations, we host free events such as: book clubs, craft nights, socials, and more.
If you would like to/are able to donate, reference the steps below:
Steps:
Transfer the desired dollar amount to GLISA's Treasurer, Hannah Hodge, via PayPal: hhodge@twu.edu
The profile photo on PayPal is the maroon and white GLISA logo.
Type "GLISA Donation - [First Name Last Name]" in the 'What's this for?' field.
Select "For Friends and Family".
This ensures we don't incur any fees on donations and 100% of your gift goes to GLISA!
Send. You will receive an immediate PayPal receipt, and GLISA will send a confirmation as well.
Thank you for your support in keeping your student organization active! We look forward to hosting many more events this coming year!
In the past, GLISA has relied on three types of funding opportunities to host events for members:
Donations
Student Organization Funding from the TWU Pioneer Involvement Team (PIT)
ALA reimbursements
Unfortunately, for the foreseeable future, ALA will no longer provide reimbursement funds to GLISA chapters, and the last funds were received in 2025. Due to changes in policies, GLISA no longer qualifies for PIT programming or reimbursement funds as qualification requires on campus programs. At this time, GLISA only qualifies for operational funds that support the organization as opposed to specific online events.
If you have additional questions regarding GLISA funding or donations, please feel free to reach out! We are happy to assist.
