Consultants Give Back at ALA, June 24, 1:30-5:30
Posted by Lori Ayre on June 3, 2012
I am one of several consultants participating in the free consulting sessions being provided as part of the Consultants Give Back programs delivered at the major conferences. The date for CGB at ALA Anaheim is Sunday, June 24th from 1:30-5:30 at the Conference Center, Room 203B.
I had hoped that our co-sponsors (ASCLA and PLA) would provide a handy webpagethat listed the consultants participating but evidently simple webpages are hard to come by! Instead, there is a downloadable PDF (grrrr) circulating (somewhere) as a press release. Good luck finding it!
So, for your convenience, I offer the following list. Please contact the consultant directly if you'd like to make an appointment at the Conference.
