It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia: Sessions for Academic Librarians at SLA 2011

by Alice Wasielewski

The Special Libraries Association Annual Conference and Trade Show is almost upon us! Join us June 12th through 15th in sunny Philadelphia.  Here is a sneak peek of some essential events sponsored by the Academic Division:

Karaoke Night:
So you think you can sing?  The Academic Division is sponsoring an evening of karaoke with host Academic Division Secretary Kendra Levine as the sun sets.  Too bad the theme from Rocky doesn’t have any lyrics because we know you’d be all over it.  Don’t be shy; join us Sunday 7:00pm-10:00pm for some fun.

Academic Division Business Meeting:  
Every bit as important as Karaoke Night, the Academic Division Business Meeting is a chance for you to meet new people and get involved with an enthusiastic gang of Academic professionals.  Monday 4:00pm-5:30pm.

Poster Session:
The Academic; Education; Social Sciences; and Museums, Arts & Humanities Divisions have joined forces to present the very best posters their divisions have to offer.  Peruse these thought-provoking posters and take advantage of the unique opportunity to chat with their creators, Tuesday 6:00pm-10:00pm.

Let the Academic Division ring your Liberty Bell when you join us for our fabulous lineup of programs and events!  If you have not registered for conference yet, please wait no longer and do so here:http://sla2011.tornado1.com/registration/

See you in Philly!
