The SHRM – Emerald Coast Chapter will maintain a reference library containing Human Resource and HR related materials (books, computer disks, etc.). The materials will be available to all members of the chapter. The SHRM Foundation Chair will maintain the library. Members are encouraged to donate items to the library.

Members will be permitted to borrow materials for 30-day increments. Renewals are permitted for an additional 30 days if the materials have not been requested by another member. If materials have not been returned or renewed following the 30 days, the SHRM Foundation Chair will contact the member via email. Continued failure to return materials may result in a charge to the member for the value of the materials.

If a member requests materials that are currently loaned, their name will be placed on a waiting list. The member will be contacted via email upon the return of the materials to the library.

Members requesting materials will be responsible for retrieving and returning the items (i.e. pick up/drop off at Librarian’s place of business, arrange transfer at general meeting, etc.). 

The materials available through the library will be listed here on the SHRM-ECC website and in the SHRM-ECC Newsletter. The SHRM Foundation Chair will be responsible for updating this information.

SHRM Newsletter Article #2
“How About Those New SHRM Forums?!”

Have you checked out the new Forums on the SHRM website?? You can click on the channel on the left side of the home page marked Forums. This will take you to the Forums home page. From there, you will find a selection of forums to choose from. 

The Forums are new resources at SHRM for information and networking. They provide news, research, interactive dialogue, member information sharing and specialized web casts for specific “niches” of HR. There is a forum for:

  • Employment and recruiting issues 

  • Resources for HR consultants

  • International HR

  • Focus on HR technology

  • Compensation and Benefits issues

  • Focus on HR Metrics

  • HR in High-Tech Companies

  • HR in Media Companies

In any of these forums, you can find information specific to the area of HR. If you are a specialist or have a major accountability in one of these, you can come to this forum to get the most “up-to-date” information available on that topic. You can also sign up to receive a periodic e-newsletter.  

Each Forum also has designated web casts for members who opt in.  Although these web casts are free to members, you must sign up for them in advance. Most have been pre-approved for recertification credits for PHRs and SPHRs. The web casts are then archived and are available for viewing and listening 24/7.  

Members are also encouraged to “help build the forum” by contributing articles and web links that relate to the forum and would be of value to our members. Since quality and timeliness are of utmost importance to SHRM, there is a “peer review” process for articles submitted by members.

Since the inception of the new Forums, SHRM has had a tremendous response from members who enjoy a “one-stop” shopping approach to finding subject-related material. So, try it!  And let us know how you like them and what you would like to see added to them. www.shrm.org/forums
