The Section collaborates with various national and international science and technology library associations. The Section listed 121 members as of 1 August 1998. The Standing Committee had fifteen regular members, two corresponding members and three special advisors. Committee members came from eleven countries.

SC members noted that present meeting time is inadequate to cover all topics needing attention. Increased use of the listserv to dispatch non-critical business may also help.
