The Association of Research Libraries (ARL) and the Association of College and Research Libraries (ACRL) announce a new regional ARL/ACRL Institute on Scholarly Communication, hosted by the Orbis Cascade Alliance December 1-3, 2008, in Portland, Ore.
This immersive learning experience prepares participants as local experts within their libraries. Participants, who are encouraged to attend in teams, will become fluent with scholarly communication issues and trends and begin developing outreach plans for their campuses.
Acceptance to the Portland ARL/ACRL Institute on Scholarly Communication is competitive; participation is limited to 100 to ensure an environment that fosters group interaction and active participation. Institutions from the Northwest will receive preferred consideration, and seats are reserved for a minimum of 20 participants from outside the region. Applications will be accepted until August 15, 2008. Find complete details on the Orbis Cascade Alliance Web site http://www.orbiscascade.org/index/isc/.
