The PLA 2006 National Conference Program Subcommittee , chaired by Sandra Nelson, has assembled an diverse slate of programs for conference attendees. The programs are distributed among 8 tracks: Administration/Leadership, Collections/Tech Services, Facilities, Marketing, Serving Adults, Serving Youth, Staffing and Technology. Some of the tracks feature multiple programs in each time slot: choices, choices!
New programs are still being added so be sure to check this site occasionally for the latest additions. The Programming Schedule features a list of all scheduled preconferences and programs by day and time, plus search features so you can find specific programs or subject matter. The Talk Tables schedule will be added soon.
If you have any questions about the programs, contact Linda Bostrom, lbostrom@ala.org.
