OLAC Conference, Remote
Posted July 24, 2020
Description:
OLAC is excited to announce that the 2020 conference will take place online from October 13-16, 2020 (Tuesday-Friday), hosted via WebEx with generous support from OCLC. Information on the conference can be hound here. Join us as we celebrate OLAC’s 40th Anniversary and equip you to better catalog those “funny” formats sitting on your desk. Attendees will gain concrete expertise from in-depth workshops, hear presentations on the latest trends and developments in non-print materials and resource description, and connect with cataloger colleagues from around the country.
At past conferences, attendees had to choose between simultaneous workshop offerings. Take advantage of this opportunity to enjoy not only live participation in OLAC’s well-respected cataloging workshops, but access to recorded sessions as well. Registration rates are $50 for students or begin at $100 for OLAC members. We look forward to seeing you online!
