This year's spring conference was a great success, with approximately 130 people in attendance. Keynote speaker ACRL President Pamela Snelson spoke on communicating the value of academic libraries to constituents. (Her powerpoint is available on the ILA/ACRL website.) Even though she could not be with us in person due to weather-related travel problems, her long-distance presentation was much appreciated by those in attendance. She highlighted many of the publications, blogs, podcasts, conferences, and seminars developed by ACRL for the specific purpose of supporting academic librarians as we work to be more visible in our communities and better demonstrate our worth.

Four major themes emerged in the concurrent presentations of the day:
"Work Worth Doing","Instruction & Information Literacy", "Service" and "Digitization". . .
