2008 ILA
Annual Conference

Navy Pier in Chicago will be the site for ILA's Annual Conference, held September 23 - 26, 2008. We hope to provide a stimulating program that is responsive to our members' information needs.

Illinois has one of the most extensive systems of libraries — public, academic, school, and special — in the country. A total of 3,802 libraries — public, college and university, school media centers, and special libraries (corporate, medical, law, religious, etc.) — are located in the state.

The Illinois Library Association (ILA) Annual Conference is the third-largest state library exposition in the nation. We represent 3,000 librarians from the state’s public, academic, school, and special libraries.

Who Attends
The ILA conference is attended by librarians, trustees, library assistants, educators, and others interested in libraries. Illinois librarians spend more than $425 million on library and library-related materials and supplies each year.

Attendee Information
Become actively involved in the 2008 ILA Annual Conference by presenting a poster session or talk table. Poster sessions and talk tables will be offered on the exhibit floor on Navy Pier, September 24 and 25.

Poster sessions showcase successful research projects, display a grant, or present an innovative program from your library. These presentations are displayed on bulletin boards and are ninety minutes in length. Presenters should be available during this time to answer questions.

Talk tables are informal one-hour discussions on pertinent, often everyday, topics led by a moderator. If there is a library topic or question you want to discuss with your colleagues in an informal setting, consider moderating a talk table.

For more information on poster sessions and talk tables, please contact: Connie Steudel, Carbondale Public Library, 405 W. Main St., Carbondale, IL 62901-2995; phone: (618) 457-0354; e-mail: csteudel@shawls.lib.il.us
