[CALIBK12] CSLA Conference Proposals Deadline Extended

[Jane Lofton]

Dear CALIB friends,

It's not too late to propose a concurrent session for our annual CSLA  
Conference in Ontario in November. We know that many of you have great  
ideas and we want to give you a little more time to submit your  
proposals. We also know that a few of you have encountered software  
glitches and we want to be sure that technical difficulties don't  
hamper your ability to propose a session. So, we have extended the  
deadline until Friday, May 8.

Please visit the CSLA website http://www.csla.net  or go directly to  
the proposal link at http://csla.aaiden.com to propose a concurrent  
session. This year's conference theme is "Embrace the Serendipity of  
Learning." We want session presenters from past conferences, but we  
also want fresh, new voices. If you submitted a proposal in the past  
but weren't invited to speak, and you can rework it to fit this year's  
theme or you have a new idea, submit a new proposal.

If you have any questions about proposal topics, please contact our  
concurrent session chairs, Joan Kramer, joan.kramer at lausd.net or Ellen  
Whelpton, whlptn at aol.com. If you encounter any glitches or need help  
with the online submission form, please contact Carolyn Tienken, our  
Conference and Exhibits Coordinator, at carolynt at csla.net or by phone  
at the CSLA office at (916) 447-2684. She will make sure you get your  
proposal in.

Finally, if you are hesitating because you aren't sure if your school  
will send you to the conference this year, remember that being a  
presenter is a great way to show your administrators the value of your  
attendance, and being a presenter will help defray the cost of  
attending. CSLA members receive 50 percent off registration for each  
session presented.

And, don't forget to visit our conference wiki at http://csla2009.wikispaces.com/ 
. Our conference social networking guru, Marie Slim, is constantly  
adding great new content. Right now, be sure to visit to see the add  
and get information about auditioning to perform in Library Follies, a  
not-to-be missed Broadway musical review that will be staged during  
the Conference President's Reception. The deadline for auditions is  
May 15.

With best wishes,

Jane Lofton
CSLA 2009 Conference Chair
