ALA Annual Conference is in Chicago Next Weekend!
July 2, 2009
Sorry for the late notice, but I did want to mention that the American Library Association’s Annual Conference is in Chicago next weekend. Here’s the link to general conference info: http://www.ala.org/ala/conferencesevents/upcoming/annual/index.cfm
Since I’m guessing most of you won’t be making plans to attend at this late date, I will also mention that they are offering a virtual conference, which you can attend from the comfort of your own home. Here’s the blurb from their website, and the link to registration info:
ALA 2009 Virtual Conference
Attend Annual Conference from your desktop this year with the American Library Association’s (ALA) new Virtual Conference. ALA is offering 10 interactive Web sessions on Monday, July 13 and Tuesday, July 14 at the closing of the 2009 Annual Conference in Chicago.
Interact with speakers and other attendees during each of these hour-long sessions on a variety of exciting topics.
These interactive programs from ALA’s Washington Office, the Office of Intellectual Freedom and several other divisions and offices will be the next best thing to being right at the Annual Conference itself.
Topics will include accessing stimulus money for broadband deployment, greening your library and best customer service.
Online Registration for the 2009 Annual Virtual Conference
Warning: The ALA site really stinks – it loads FOREVER and sometimes you never get to where you want to go. Othertimes it works just fine. If you’re having trouble, they’re pretty good about listing 800 numbers for help – call them.
