Hello OLAC members and friends,

The 2010 OLAC conference in Macon, Georgia took place in October. Survey results and informal comments overheard indicate that it was a highly educational event, complimented by ample time for professional and social networking. In this issue are reports from the conference scholarship winners and event reporters, giving their summaries and perspectives of the event.

Proposals are being accepted to host the 2012 conference. Though we hope it will be hosted in a western location, proposals from any place are accepted until January 1, 2011. Please see the handbook on the OLAC website for more information. As a former conference chair, I can attest that hosting is a rewarding experience.

The room assignments for OLAC meetings at ALA Midwinter are as follows: the CAPC Meeting will be on Friday, January 7, from 7:30 pm to 8:45 pm, in the San Diego Marriot and Marina (MAR)-Mission Hills, and the OLAC Membership Meeting will be on Sunday, January 9, from 4:00 pm to 5:30 pm in San Diego Convention Center (SDCC)-Room 27 A.
