Welcome from Conference Chair Ann Watson!

The 32nd Annual ALAO Conference "Recipes for Library Success: Ingredients, Process and Product" will offer a banquet of fresh ideas that will spark your appetite with presentations, poster sessions, vendor exhibits and key note speakers addressing a wide variety of issues related to our everyday work in academic libraries. The conference will be held in Akron, Ohio at the unique the Crowne Plaza Quaker Square. The hotel, which is the former factory for Quaker Oats, is listed in the National Register of Historic Places, The silos are a soaring 120 feet tall and 24 feet in diameter. Because of the shape of the silos, each room in the Crowne Plaza Quaker Square is totally round. If this has sparked your appetite for hot topic discussions, practical solutions and creative approaches to issues and challenges facing libraries, then mark your calendar for a delectable feast of ideas in Akron on November 3, 2006.
