KLA newsletter call for submissions

Dear KLA members, affiliates and other librarian related peoples,

The KLA is putting together a new Newsletter.

We are hoping to have this out on the ‘stands’ by the middle of October.

The only definite thing right now is a section that will include Section/Roundtable Notes. So if you have something to pass along about your roundtable or section please forward that to me by October 5^th. We will have a word limit of 150 words per group.

We also highly encourage participation from affiliates and students.

If you would like to submit an article for the publication, please forward that to me as well. The deadline for submissions is October 5^th.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Kansas Rules!

KLA MPLA Call for Proposals!

Yes, it’s that time of year again!  It’s like summer reading – it NEVER goes away!

2009 KLA – MPLA Joint Conference
Libraries: Dynamic People, Places & Ideas
April 1-3, 2009
Hyatt Regency / Century II Convention Center

Libraries are filled with dynamic */PEOPLE/*, both staff and patrons.  Libraries are unique spaces with an increasingly unique sense of /*PLACE*/.  Libraries are filled with /*IDEAS*/.  Start thinking about how /*YOU*/ can contribute to the most fabulous, entertaining library conference of 2009!   We’ll have tracks of interest for everyone.  Tracks include: administration, advocacy, archives / preservation, children, collection development, electronic resources, government resources, instruction, marketing / outreach, professional development, reference, reader’s advisory, technology, technical services, trustees / friends, and young adults.

We are accepting program proposals Sept 2 – Oct 31, 2008.  We will notify accepted proposals in November.
