AASL Publications for AASL Chapter Events

As a benefit of your AASL Chapter status, you have the opportunity to offer AASL publications to your members at discounted rates. This AASL Chapters Publication Program has four tiers to select from in order to fit seamlessly into your conference or event.

With all four tiers, AASL will provide you with order forms and/or a customized presentation slide that can be used to promote the publications program to your conference/event attendees.

Tier One

The first two tiers allow AASL Chapters to offer conference/event attendees the largest selection of AASL publications with the greatest discount. By participating in these tiers, conference/event attendees can purchase all titles at the AASL member price regardless of their AASL membership.

How does tier one work?
AASL Chapters take orders and payments in advance. (Consider setting up an order form as part of your conference/event registration.) Four weeks before the event, the Chapter submits a consolidated order form and payment to AASL. The products are then mailed to the Chapter for sorting and distribution at the conference/event. AASL recommends that the chapter apply a minimum $5.00 handling fee to each attendee’s order to help cover the chapter’s cost for shipping and handling.

Tier Two

Tier two minimizes the organization undertaken by the AASL Chapter, The customer is required to pay sales tax and shipping fees for their ALA Store Order.

How does tier two work?
AASL Chapters collect individual orders and payments (including a shipping fee) onsite at the conference/event. At the end of conference, the orders and payments are sent in one batch to AASL for processing. Titles are then shipped directly to each of the conference/event attendees.

Tier Three

Tier three allows the AASL Chapter to be hands-off, but also provides the smallest discount.

How does tier three work?
AASL will arrange for the AASL Chapter to have a coupon code in place for the entirety of the conference/event as well as seven days post-event. This coupon code is good for 10% off AASL publications. (If the conference/event attendee is an ALA and/or AASL member, the 10% discount is stackable with their membership discount.) Conference/event attendees can redeem the coupon code via the online ALA store, or on phone, fax, and email orders.
