While I'm sure that Hildy Dworkin, our Solo chair, attended / saw / participated in far too many things to list on this humble blog, here are a few of the highlights from the most recent SLA Leadership Summit:
- Click University: Self-paced seminars: these live courses and replays are now FREE! Yes, the $199 fee has been eliminated. (Note that there is still a fee for certificate programs and other University courses.)
- SLA membership is $35 for those earning $18,000 and less. Read the full press release: http://www.sla.org/content/SLA/pressroom/pressrelease/08pr/pr2822.cfm.
- Research findings from the SLA Alignment Project will be posted on the SLA website very soon. The findings presented at the summit generated a lot of positive excitement from conference attendees. For background info on the project see http://www.sla.org/content/SLA/alignment/index.cfm.
And of course, like everyone else, SLA is finding ways to cope with today's current economic "challenges" - Information Outlook will now be published 8 times a year, and there will be no salary survey this year. Also, sadly, SLA staff will not be receiving any salary increases, which is all the more reason to show your appreciation for everything that they do in other creative ways when you see them at the upcoming Annual Conference.
If you attended the Summit and have stories to share, please respond to this post!
