Register for ACRL's 9th National Conference, "Racing Toward Tomorrow,"
by January 18, 1999, and save 30% off regular conference registration
fees!
The conference, held in Detroit, Michigan, April 8-11, 1999, will
allow you to keep pace and provide leadership for the future
direction of academic libraries. Pat Schroeder, President and CEO of
the Association of American Publishers, and James Neal, Sheridan
Director of the Milton S. Eisenhower Library at the Johns Hopkins
University, will participate in an Open Forum on Copyright and Fair
Use to kickoff the conference.
More than 200 conference programs will explore issues such as
scholarly communication, electronic publishing, distance learning,
alternate funding, outcomes assessment, and information literacy .
Build a campus team and attend the first-ever
Conference-within-a-Conference, "Student Learning in an Information
Age." Plan to visit the exhibits and see state-of-the-art
publications, technology, media products, and services available to
academic and research librarians.
Network with your peers at roundtable discussions, poster sessions,
and all-conference events, or sharpen your skills through an intensive
one-day training at an optional preconference. Additional
