CLA Vancouver 2008

Conference planning and professional development

We’ve barely had time to bid the whales farewell and digest the lobsters before CLA moves from the Rock to the Rockies and it’s time to plan CLA 2008 in Vancouver.

The theme for Vancouver, May 21-24, 2008:
Libraries and publishing 3.0: Connecting authors to readers in the digital age.

Digital publishing profoundly affects everything we do in libraries. The conference aims to provide new perspectives on readers, writers and publishers in the digital age.

We’re looking for session proposals that will shed light on digital issues affecting public libraries.

Do you have ideas, suggestions or speakers for sessions? Please let us know.

Do you have a great session idea that’s unrelated to the digital publishing theme? We want to hear about this, too. CAPL is considering hosting a pre-conference day on topics of critical concern to public libraries.

Do you have topic ideas for sessions that might not fit into a CLA conference program? We’re also looking for sessions that would work in other regions of the country or for an Education Institute teleconference, webinar or online course.

We want to hear from you. Please contact:
Barbara Love
Kingston Frontenac Public Library
613-549-8888, Ext 1180
