An invitation to the Cincinnati Conference

We would like to invite you to join us in Cincinnati, April 5-8, 1989, for ACRL’s Fifth National Conference, “Building on the First Century.” We hope you will be there with your friends and colleagues to learn, to celebrate, and to build for the future.

You can celebrate four birthdays at the conference! The ALA College Library Section is 100 years old, ACRL, College and Research Libraries, and C‹&RL News are all 50 years old, and Choice is 25. You can join your colleagues in honoring many of the people whose contributions have brought us to this year of milestones and preparing ourselves for the achievements of the future.

This conference offers a wealth of opportunities for professional growth and enrichment. You will find that papers and programs have been planned to appeal to your diverse interests. This is the first time that ACRL’s national conference has featured programs in addition to papers, and the response to this has been tremendous! You will find many topics and formats from which to choose. In addition, several major speakers will be featured including: Robert Caro, the Pulitzer Prize-winning author; Samuel Proctor, a nationally known and respected educator and leader; Mary Anne Dolan, a syndicated columnist and television commentator based in Los Angeles; and Ed Holley, our own Academic or Research Librarian of the Year 1988.

Begin your stay in Cincinnati with the preconference courses (April 3-4); attend our night out at the Reds-Dodgers game (April 5); enjoy the Conference Reception and the many other activities which are planned. Explore the delights of the Queen City where you can go Highbrow, Soul or Rock; be an athletic spectator, nature lover or gourmet. Then conclude your visit by attending the post-conference on research (April 8-9.)

Please join us in Cincinnati. Come to learn, to meet your colleagues and to celebrate with those who best understand you and your needs—the Association of College and Research Libraries. Take your pen in hand and fill in the registration form today. It’s a decision you will be glad you made! Sincerely,
