Conference Snippets
2003 Conference Offers Relevant Programs
Take a close look at the 2003 Conference workshop line-up! The Conference Committee worked hard to ensure that librarians in all types of library positions--public, children's/YA, special, academic, IT, management-as well as library staff, trustees, and students of Library Science, will have at least one pertinent workshop to attend during each of the five sessions. That's five substantive sessions over the course of three busy days. But your registration fee also includes three general sessions with nationally known speakers, an outstanding master speaker session, countless opportunities for networking, and more! Where can you get a better deal for both fun and professional development??

Master Speakers: Plan Ahead!
On Sunday morning in Ontario, the Master Speaker presentations will highlight 3 killer topics--budget, information literacy, and library design. But you can only go to one! Here's a thought: if more than one person from your library will be attending the Conference this year, think about splitting up your group for maximum coverage of these great topics.
The Master Speakers are sponsored by Infopeople, www. infopeople.org
