Benefits of Membership

Librarians who are part of LOEX member institutions
receive the following benefits:

LOEX Currents

Our monthly current awareness service (published September through May, along with an occasional Summer issue) is available to all individuals at member libraries who sign up for the LOEX E-list.

LOEX Quarterly

Our journal publication has four issues published per year. It includes practical articles on library instruction and information literacy as well as reports on instruction and information literacy initiatives around the world.

LOEX Conferences

LOEX hosts an annual conference each spring, and a smaller, focused conference every other fall. For both of these conferences, registrants who are LOEX members receive a discount on their registration fees (e.g., $365 for LOEX 2026 instead of $415).

Additionally, LOEX conferences occasionally sell out due to capacity constraints. To ensure that as many LOEX members get spots as possible, members receive priority registration.

LOEX Community Events

Community Conversations

In an effort to provide more opportunities for instruction librarians to connect with each other, LOEX offers “community conversations” for its members a few times a year. Topics will be selected based on relevance and general interest.

These one-hour sessions will be held online, via Zoom. Registration is required to make sure we do not have too many people for a worthwhile, manageable discussion. The meeting will start with a five-minute introduction by the main host (e.g., the LOEX Director), followed by randomly assigning people into ~five Zoom breakout rooms of no more than ten people. Each room will have a LOEX volunteer moderator to guide the discussion and also take high-level notes; none of the discussions will be recorded.

Is my institution a member? If not, how do I join?

List of LOEX member institutions

If your institution is not a member and you are interested in becoming one, please fill out the Information/Membership Request Form below.

LOEX membership operates on a calendar year basis.

The membership rate for 2027 is $103 (note that the LOEX Quarterly is only available online, as we are no longer offering a print Quarterly membership option).
Members will be notified of any change in the membership rate on their invoice or by their subscription service agent.
Invoicing for a new membership year begins in November of the preceding year (if you need an invoice sent/re-sent after this date, please email LOEX).
