Lending Library Committee

Fishing for HR information?
Check out the books and tapes in the EIHRA Lending Library!

EIHRA Members can check out Human Resource materials from the EIHRA Lending Library.

The Library strives to select the best representative materials in a subject area. Materials are purchased upon the recommendation of EIHRA Members who have found the materials to be useful, or upon the recommendation of an EIHRA Committee that has researched the subject area.

The Lending Library is a valuable resource for EIHRA Members (1) who want to learn more about an HR topic; or (2) who want to review materials recommended by other HR professionals to determine if they want to use the materials for their organization's in-house training or programs.

The Library materials are for the use of EIHRA Members only, any use of the materials outside of EIHRA or its Members violates copyright law and is prohibited (see copyright agreement below).

Items Available To Borrow
Initially, the Lending Library is offering books and tapes on Diversity; but materials on various other HR topics will be added by EIHRA Committees from time to time.
