Event: Internet Librarian 2010 Dine Around in Monterey, Sunday Evening October 24

Come kick-off the Internet Librarian 2010 meeting with Ann Jacobson (Naval Postgraduate School) and  Silicon Valley  (formerly San Andreas) Chapter colleagues at the Monterey Dine Around on Sunday, Oct. 24th, at 7pm at Krua Thai Restaurant down the street at 731 Munras Avenue. This is a great opportunity to network, share expertise and have a little fun with your Silicon Valley Chapter colleagues in SLA right before the first day of Internet Librarian 2010 Conference.
 
Krua Thai is an inexpensive, delicious and quiet Thai restaurant located an easy walking distance (about 10-12 minutes) from the conference center. Food can be ordered mild, medium or spicy, and they accept separate checks. Local members and friends of SLA who are not attending Internet Librarian are also welcome.

To reserve a spot, please email Ann Jacobson at ann.jacobson AT gmail.com, and put “SLA Internet Librarian Sunday Evening Dine-around” in the subject header. Ann will confirm your place, so if you don't hear back from her, your email may have been blocked and you can call her instead at (831) 809-7760

See you there!

New address for Silicon Valley Discussion List

As part of our transition to being the Silicon Valley Chapter of SLA we have changed the “name” of the discussion list. The SLA Discussion List for our chapter has been changed to sla_csv AT sla.lyris.net (please note the underscore between “sla” and “csv”). The members who were on the previous discussion list will automatically (and hopefully seamlessly) be transferred to the new list. For those of you who are SLA members and not on our local discussion list, this might be a good time for you to become active. You can signup through SLA Headquarters at: http://www.sla.org/content/community/lists/index.cfm
