2010 OLAC Biennial Conference Preview by Julie Huskey


Official registration for OLAC 2010 in Macon, Georgia will close September 20; after that, registration will be handled on a space-available basis.  We have established a [short] waiting list for the preconference.

There are a couple changes in the breakout session offerings.  Susan Wynne, of the University of Wyoming, will lead a session on Oral histories.  2009 OLAC research award winners  Kevin Furniss, of Tulane University, and Morag Boyd, of Ohio State, will present “Describing Reproductions:  A Series of Decisions” as a breakout session.
