The Northwest Academic Library Directors Symposium will be held on the University of Puget Sound campus on Thursday, November 9, 2006.
The topic we will examine will be the impact of technology on higher education in the next five years and the implications for academic libraries. We have two outside non-librarian experts as morning speakers: Armando Fox on the future of the internet and, and Randy Hinrichs on the use of technology for teaching and learning. We have a distinguished panel of your fellow Northwestern deans and directors in the afternoon, a free hot, not boxed, lunch and time for small group discussions by topic.
Registration is Free and is limited to 60 library directors. Registration ends when we reach the limit of 60 directors or October 6, whichever comes first. Lodging is at the Silver Cloud Inn. A block of rooms is being held at the $109 rate until October 25.
