You are invited to apply for a scholarship to attend the 2012 ACRL-OR/WA
Fall Conference, “Libraries out loud: New narratives of enduring
values.”<br>
<br>
The Fall Conference is a two-day, single-track opportunity to learn
more about academic libraries in the region, meet colleagues, and
discuss key issues of our profession. The conference is October 25-26,
2012, at <a href="http://menucha.org/" target="_blank">Menucha Retreat and Conference Center</a>
in Corbett, OR. Our fabulous keynote speakers this year will be Barbara
Fister and Char Booth, with a special session featuring the Center for
Social Media.<br>
<br>
ACRL-OR will award two scholarships that cover the registration fee
for the conference, including room and board. Scholarship winners are
responsible for paying for their own travel. The scholarship committee
is standing by to read all about why you want to attend the conference,
in 250 words or less.<br>
<br>
The <a href="https://ola.memberclicks.net/index.php?option=com_mc&view=mc&mcid=form_126761" target="_blank">scholarship application</a> deadline is Friday, September 14.
Applicants will be notified in early October. Priority will be given to applications from
