Info on SWALL 2010 Meeting in Waco

“The SWALL 2010 Annual Meeting will be held just a short drive away in Waco, April 8-10. The SWALL meeting provides a cost-effective opportunity to collaborate with your colleagues outside DFW. The SWALL theme is “Adapt & Flourish” and features the hardy Texas Bluebonnet as its logo. Program proposals will be accepted until Oct. 23.

Also, I’m looking for 1-2 firm librarians to act as members of the Program Committee. The committee’s role is to plan the educational portion of the annual meeting program, addressing the educational interests and changing library problems of the membership as a whole. The most significant Committee work will take place in the month after the proposal due date and will consist of review and discussion through a Google group page and possibly a conference call or two.

The program proposal form will be posted on the SWALL website shortly or you can just write me and I’ll email it to you. I look forward to receiving proposals and hearing from anyone interested in joining the Committee. Thanks!! “
