Just a friendly reminder about a few of RUSA and ASCLA’s events…registration for all of these closes on Sunday, June 20, and we will not be selling tickets at the door.

 

You can register for these events without registering for conference, so if you live in the area and want to join us for the day for maximum learning and a whole lot of fun, check out these registration instructions and get on board today: http://rusa.ala.org/blog/2010/03/30/ticketedeventsonly-howto/
