CLAWS</a> steering committee (Jessica Koshi-Lum, Ro McKernan, Heath Hayden, and myself) have been working with WLA leadership and our friends in the Academic Library Division (ALD) of WLA to create a conference for academic librarians (and academic library
workers) in early next year.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Please save the date and forward to your teams! We have settled on the following for this one-day event:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Friday, March 20<sup>th</sup> at Central Washington University (CWU)<o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><o:p> </o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We have not yet worked out the details on the conference theme or sub-topics, and would love your input. If you have any ideas for what would make this conference meaningful to you, please respond to this listserv thread! If you’d like
to provide feedback to the group but would like anonymity, please pass your comments along to Greg Bem and he will share with the group anonymously. Going forward, we could also think about anonymous surveys, too.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The conference will be open to both WLA and non-WLA members, with discounted pricing offered for the former. We hope to have an amazing array of sessions, and an unforgettable keynote!<o:p></o:p></p>
