Join ALCTS President Carol Pitts Diedrichs for her President's Program
during the ALA Annual Meeting in Chicago on Monday, June 27 from
10:30am-noon in Red Lacquer Room at the Palmer House. The title of the
program is "Librarians, Learning and Creativity: A Boundary-Breaking
Perspective". Michael Hawley, an extraordinary innovator, educator, and
explorer, is the featured speaker. (Information about Dr. Hawley can be
found at http://leighbureau.com/speaker.asp?id=82   and at
http://web.media.mit.edu/~mike/.)  Karen Calhoun, Associate University
Librarian for Technical Services at Cornell University, will address the
changing context for librarians in the interconnected world of the Web.
(Information about Cornell's technical services is available at
http://www.library.cornell.edu/cts/; information about Karen and the
text of her papers can be found at

about the program and Dr. Hawley's Guinness World Record holding book,
Bhutan, is available in Carol's column in the Vol. 16, no. 2 of the
ALCTS Newsletter,
http://www.ala.org/ala/alcts/alctspubs/alctsnewsletter/vol16no2/lettersf
romalctsa/fromthepresidenta/frompres.htm.   A copy of the giant version
of Bhutan will be donated to the Field Museum at the program. ALCTS
thanks Elsevier for its support of the program and an anonymous donor
for the book.

The members of the President's Program Planning Committee encourage
ALCTS members to attend not only the program but also the ALCTS Award
Ceremony at 5:00 on Sunday, June 26, in the Adams Ball Room at the
Palmer House. A copy of the coffee table sized version of Bhutan will be
given away as a door prize at that event. The ALCTS membership reception
immediately follows in the Red Lacquer Room.
