Kentucky Academic Library Summit--FoKAL--June 9-10, 2009
Wed, 04/22/2009 - 14:54 | by Anne AbateKentucky's Statewide Academic Library Summit has been planned this year by the Executive Committee for the Federation of Kentucky Academic Libraries (FoKAL).
Please join your fellow library directors for this third annual summit of all academic libraries in Kentucky. Academic library directors from non-profit, SACS-accredited (or in advanced candidacy status), Kentucky institutions of higher education are invited to attend. It is rare to have the collective library leadership from small and large, private and public institutions in one room. Our focus this year is on Advocacy and we will hear from Wayne Onkst (State Librarian of Kentucky) and Kathy Perry (The Virtual Library of Virginia). Also at the conference we will hear reports from the FoKAL committees.
We have heard that the time is right to experience the Moonbow once again! Another highlight of this year's conference will be a cookout on the first evening where we can spend some time getting to know each other better in a casual environment.
If you meet the criteria to participate and have not received your registration information, please contact the SAALCK office (513-751-4422).
