The fee for ACRL Oregon’s preconference Managing Vendor Relationships has been lowered to $45 for LIS students!

Register at the OLA website (A button is being added for students in the form, but if you encounter any problems, please contact Jane Scott.)

Rice Majors (Emporia SLIM alum) has gathered a top notch group of presenters and he and Rachel Bridgewater (another SLIM alum) will be moderators. The presentations and discussions will add to your working knowledge of the interplay between vendors, library software, and libraries.
