Sharing on behalf of the Library and Information Technology Association. LITA is offering a special student registration rate to the 2012 LITA National Forum to a limited number of graduate students enrolled in ALA accredited programs. The Forum will be held October 5-7, 2012 at the Hyatt Regency in downtown Columbus, OH. To learn more about the Forum, visit http://www.ala.org/lita/conferences/forum/2012 In exchange for the discounted registration, students will assist the LITA organizers and the Forum presenters with the on-site operations for the Forum. This year's theme is "New World of Data." We are anticipating an attendance of 400-500 decision makers and implementers of new information technologies in libraries. The selected students will be expected to attend the full LITA National Forum, Friday noon through Sunday noon, but not the pre-conferences on Thursday and Friday. You will be assigned a variety of duties, but will be able to attend the Forum programs, which include 3 keynote sessions, approximately 30 concurrent sessions, and 12 poster presentations.
