20th Annual Conference on Distance Teaching and Learning

I’ve always wanted to go to this conference, but there only ever seems to be one or two sessions relating to the library each year. Maybe I should do something about that instead of just complaining 😉 Anyhoo, there is at least one session this for distance librarians – Linking to journal articles in online instruction. Oh, and there’s a crackerbarrel session for us too: Using metasearch to provide library resources for distance education.

Has anyone been? Is this a good venue to spread the gospel of the library according to Us?

    My colleague and I submitted a proposal for a presentation on a distance learning library instruction topic for this excellent conference. We were accepted as “alternate” presenters and would not know for certain if we were presenting until we arrive, and we would not be in the Conference Program. Those factors were mean that we would have been unable to secure travel grant funding from our institution, and that was not acceptable to us, so we declined the offer.
