Best Bargain Academic Libraries Conference
This is the bargain of the year. If you're an MLS student it is free! If not, it is only $99.00. And housing can be had inexpensively in the UAH conference center. Anyway, I think that it is two days of the sessions with some of the most transformational thinkers in the academic library world right now. I'd love to see you there.
If you're wondering how social networking tools might work in academia, thinking about gaming and its role in learning, working on your information or learning commons, devloping a traiing program to move your staff to the next plateau, building an institutional repository or just organizing for this century, there will be lots of food for thought!
The Second Annual E-Info Global Symposium hosted by the University of Alabama in Huntsville Library will take place on December 6 and 7, 2007.

I will admit that I am quite involved in this symposium. Jane Dysart and I developed the program and I am the conference chair as well as a speaker.
