The Awards Committee is pleased to announce the winner of the 2017 Mary Hammond Iber Spring Conference Scholarship: Laura Sauser. Laura is a recent graduate of the University of Iowa School of Library and Information Science and a part-time reference librarian at Kirkwood Community College.
When asked how the conference theme "Looking in, reaching out: Whom do we serve?" is related to her profession goals, Laura responded with this essay:
The ILA/ACRL IASL College Readiness Committee has developed a list of opportunities for presentations for projects and ideas related to high school to higher education transition and college readiness. As you develop projects ideas and reflect on how they might be shared more broadly, consider these opportunities to reach broader audiences. Comments and suggestions are welcome.
As promised, the 2017 Spring Conference event page is now available on the ILA-ACRL Website!! It contains the full conference schedule with session descriptions. There are a wide variety of very interesting sessions being offered again this year. Be sure to look over the listing and create your own schedule using the sched.org site. The site also includes hotel accommodations, maps and directions.
