The two largest SBL meetings are held over several days and are divided up into sessions that are prepared and hosted by program units. Program units cover the gamut of SBL member interests from Hebrew Scriptures and Cognate Literature to Computer Assisted Research to Gender, Sexuality, and the Bible.
Each meeting has its own set of program units.
There are five types of Program Units:
Consultation: 3 year term – new program units normally of this type, but identify goal of Section,Group, or Seminar after the Consultation
Section: 6 year term – usually more broadly defined; offers presenters most access for unsolicited papers; required to have at least one open session each year
Group: 6 year term – long-range collaborative research topics/papers that require active participation
Seminar: 6 year term (not renewable) – well defined research topics or projects with specific
publication plans; limited membership; papers pre-distributed and not read at meetings
Workshop: 3 year term – practical, hands-on, learning opportunities related to teaching and/or
research applications
Beginning in 2004, the print edition of Seminar Papers was discontinued, with a selection of papers presented at the meeting being made available on line.

In 2004 we also started archiving Program Books and Abstracts from the Annual Meetings and International Meetings.
