Dear CLA TSIG members, I am forwarding this announcement of ALCTS 101, to be held at the ALA Conference in Las Vegas on Friday evening. I encourage anyone interested in learning more about ALCTS to attend, if your schedule permits. I will be there representing the ALCTS Affiliate Relations Committee, and encouraging those who may not be able to attend national conferences regularly to consider becoming active in a state/regional affiliate group (such as CLA TSIG). Elaine Franco Chair, ALCTS Affiliate Relations Committee [email protected] ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Start the weekend off right and get the most out of your conference attendance with ALCTS 101! Join us for a low-key evening with light refreshments and the opportunity to win great door prizes, as we provide an overview of the Association for Library Collections and Technical Services (ALCTS) Division. Established members will be on-hand to chat with attendees about ALCTS sections (cataloging, preservation, continuing resources, etc.), interest groups, navigating Annual, publishing opportunities, professional development, and volunteer opportunities. All are welcome - those considering membership with ALCTS, student members, new members, and long-term members wanting a brush-up. A short business meeting for the ALCTS New Member Interest Group will occur at the end of the event, where you can volunteer to serve as the Social Media Coordinator or Student Liaison for the next year. We'll also be kicking off the ALCTS Photo Scavenger Hunt that will be going on during the conference.
