ASCLA--the Association of Specialized and Cooperative Agencies--is now
accepting proposals for the following:
>>Institutes for the 2014 ALA Midwinter Meeting in
Philadelphia

Conference in Las Vegas
The deadline for submissions is Wednesday, May 15, 2013!

**What sorts of topics are of interest?**
The best topics represent ASCLA's core member areas-state
library agencies, special populations librarians, independent librarians
and library consultants, and resource-sharing librarians at networks and
cooperatives-but are also of interest to librarians throughout the
profession from all types of libraries. Keep in mind that topics should
still be relevant in January and June 2014 when they are finally
presented! You can browse our interest group list here for inspiration:

<http://www.ala.org/ascla/asclaourassoc/asclainterest/list>
**Who can propose a program, institute or preconference?**
Any current ASCLA member can propose one of these events,
however we strongly encourage support and sponsorship from one of our
interest groups! If you're not an interest group member, consider
joining one and using the group as a springboard for your conference
event ideas. Check out the list of our interest groups, contact
information for interest group leaders and instructions on how to join:

**Who is ASCLA?**
We are a small, mighty and growing division of ALA with a
broad reach! We represent four core member groups: state library
agencies; special populations librarians such as those serving
incarcerated adults and youth, and those serving people with
disabilities; independent librarians and library consultants; and
resource-sharing librarians at networks and cooperatives. Our member
interest groups also include tribal librarians, futurists and librarians
serving users with Alzheimer's and related dementias. Our size is an
advantage: join and you'll have the opportunity to participate right
away and make a difference in the library community! More information is

Please share this message with colleagues or distribution lists who may
find it of interest!
