The Reference and User Services Association is offering *group
discounts* for its 2011 Annual Preconferences in New Orleans.

 

How to receive the discount: simply register 3 or more librarians or
library staff from your library, library network or system for any of
the RUSA preconferences. Which preconferences you select doesn't
matter-you just need to meet the minimum 3-participant threshold. Any
organization or staff member is eligible, regardless of membership
status.

(Yes, it really is that simple!)

 

You can get comprehensive event information-including a list of our
outstanding speakers for this year's event-at the RUSA website:

(a shorter overview of these events is included in this e-mail; see
