<strong>Keeping up with the latest library innovation news is a
full-time job.</strong> You’d have to read magazines, blogs and books,
plus follow email lists and people on Twitter, plus read a variety of
newspapers to really stay current. Know who has time to do that? Nobody.
</p>
<p><strong>That’s one of the great things about conferences.</strong>
Speakers bring their work and ideas to you, sometimes from sources you didn’t
even know to look for. They won’t all be ideas you can use, but that’s
true of all the library news you read. Sometimes an idea jumps you
forward. More often, for me, a new idea matches with an old problem or a
local need and I can find a next step forward.</p>
<p>Maybe you’re already sold on conferences; it’s just the airfare,
hotel, food, registration fees and time away from your desk for a
cross-country trek that keeps you away? <strong>Let the conference come
to you when you join us for the 2013 ALA Virtual Conference.</strong>
This two-day conference is full of innovative ideas from perspectives
throughout the library sphere. </p>
<p>At just $20 for one day or $35 for both days of the conference*,
you can afford to come. You can even come just for a couple sessions or
both afternoons; we’re glad to welcome you to whichever sessions fit
your schedule. We’ll meet in our conference room at SWON, which has 18
seats. <strong><a href="http://oh.evanced.info/swon/lib/eventsignup.asp?ID=434" target="_blank">Reserve
your seat today.</a></strong> Find session descriptions and more at the <a href="http://www.learningtimes.net/ala13/program/" target="_blank">Virtual Conference
website</a>.</p><p>Thanks,<br>Nathan Swartzendruber<br>SWON Technology Educator</p>
<p>(* $20/$35 pricing is for Supporting Members. Geographic Member
pricing is $30 for one day, $50 for both days.)</p>
