We have lots of exciting programming coming up at the ALA Annual Conference in Anaheim! A list of program titles is below. You can get more information about these programs at the ASCLA website. This year’s ASCLA President’s Program: Duct Tape Marketing and Advocacy will feature John Jantasch, author of “Duct Tape Marketing” and “The Referral Engine”. Jantasch will apply his “marketing as system, not as event” theory to libraries as a part of this program, which will take place from 10:30 a.m.-noon on Sunday, June 24.
We’re also looking forward to seeing you at the ASCLA/COSLA reception, which is scheduled on a new day and time: Saturday, June 23, 5:30-7:30pm! Our annual awards presentation will kick off at 5:45, and after that we’ll have networking activities. More details on this event to come, but in the meantime please mark your calendars and plan to join us!
