An invitation to Salt Lake City

The 1992 ACRL National Conference Executive Committee

Joseph A. Boissé, Conference Chair, University of California, Santa Barbara

Join your colleagues

You are invited to join your colleagues at the ACRL Sixth National Conference, "Academic Libraries: Achieving Excellence in Higher Education." The ACRL National Conference is the only national conference just for you! Offered every three years, the national conference is an opportunity not to be missed.

All programs will be held in the Salt Palace Convention Center, just minutes away from all conference hotels.

Why you should attend

You have told us in membership surveys and evaluations that you want to keep up-to-date on academic library research and practice. And that you want to share your ideas informally with your colleagues. The conference planners kept your needs in mind when they designed the ACRL Sixth National Conference. You will be able to listen to experts, ask questions, and discuss solutions with other academic librarians. You will have many opportunities to learn about the latest innovations in academic librarianship.

Conference programs

The very best in academic library research will be presented by 52 contributed paper authors. These papers were selected in a double blind referee process. Two types of papers will be presented: research reports that use rigorous research methodology, and position papers that identify problems and propose solutions.

Thirty-five panel program presentations will offer practical advice on your library-related problems. Experts in bibliographic instruction, reader services, personnel, administration, collection development, and technology will share their solutions to library problems.

Thirty poster sessions will give you an opportunity to share in your colleagues' research in a more informal way. Sessions will be offered throughout the conference.

Welcome to Utah

By Amy Owen Director of the Utah State Library Division Utah State Library

Amy Owen

I am happy to join my colleagues in welcom- ing ACRL members to Salt Lake City. The past few years have been exciting for Utah librarians. Although we have not been spared the financial pressures familiar to many of you, recent progress has been notable.

In higher education, library needs rank with faculty salaries in gaining legislative attention. The legislature has committed to a multi-year $75,000,000 program to expand college and university library facilities, and new construction is already underway for the first projects. One-time appropriations have also funded improved library technology and given at least temporary relief for collection development needs. Students In higher education have even persuaded the legislature to provide matching money for their own fundraising efforts on behalf of libraries. Continued efforts to improve funding for academic library services are gaining strength.

Utah’s public librarians and the State Library recently completed a multi-year agenda establishing state aid for public libraries, and the State Board of Education has adopted a master plan aimed at reversing the decline in school library media services. Now the 1991 Governor’s Conference on Library and Information Services provides a strong platform for future improvements. These successes are in no small part due to strong support for education and libraries among the general public and elected officials and to the Utah library community’s commitment to quality service, open access to information, and spirit of cooperation.

In April, Salt Lake City is at its most beautiful and inviting. You will find warm hospitality, scenic surroundings, and a wide variety of excellent restaurants for those moments when you can't take in one more meeting. Your colleagues here will do their best to assure a memorable visit. We look forward to seeing you soon.
