Sponsorship Requirements
We believe that the vendors we invite to participate in CARL must be good stewards of information and uphold the ALA Code of Ethics. Since our vendors have a great deal of access to librarians throughout the state of California through the CARL Conference, we will only be inviting vendors who:
- Are dedicated to the sharing of knowledge and research first and foremost over profit
- Engage in good faith negotiations and are transparent in their motives, negotiation and pricing structures1
- Respect the privacy and humanity of our users, and do not not engage in the practice of selling information to law enforcement
- Use taxpayer money through publicly-funded institutions in an ethically, morally, and socially responsible way2
We understand that this may reduce our resources to put on a conference that is comparable to conferences in the past. We believe, however, that we are well past the point to allow vendors who do not uphold our values access to librarians and libraries throughout California. In order to mitigate the potential loss of revenue from sponsors, CARL will be implementing a Member Sponsor option for those attendees who would like to support the conference for their fellow librarians.
If you have any questions about the sponsorships, please contact Adolfo Prieto, CSU Fullerton.
