    Thinking about presenting at a conference (maybe for the first time)?  Not sure if your idea can be turned into a presentation, or if there are presentation ideas you might not have thought about?  The ALAO Annual Conference is an excellent opportunity!  Please join us for an informal online chat where you can ask questions and learn more about submitting a proposal and planning a presentation.

    ALAO has a longstanding tradition of hosting first-time presenters of sessions, posters, lightning talks and panel discussions.  Ours is a welcoming and supportive conference environment for your first presentation.  In this spirit, and in conjunction with our recent call for conference session proposals, the 2023 ALAO Conference Planning Committee will be hosting an informal virtual conversation with potential first-time presenters and others who may be interested.  

    This online event will take place via Zoom on Monday, April 10, 2023 from 3 to 4pm.  Please register beforehand here if you would like to attend.

    If you have questions, please contact Mark Eddy at vicepresident@alaoweb.org

    “Futures are not a destination, but a medium for imaginative thought” - Anthony Dunne & Fiona Raby

    This work is the apotheosis of a yearlong exploration of speculative design and libraries. Beginning with TEDSIG 2020 in July of 2020, continued through an inspired Speculative Design and Climate Reading Group with LATITUDE | Chicago, and culminating with the publication of this object on speculative library futures.

    COMING IN MARCH 2021

    Would you like an opportunity to hear what your colleagues are doing at other Ohio institutions to deal with the pandemic? Would you like to share about the challenges and opportunities you’re facing this semester?

    If so, please feel free to join us for an informal COVID-19 Open Forum!

    September 25th at 3:00pm

    Register here by September 23rd: https://forms.gle/L927wxV4t8di3LnB6

    We’ll do some polling to see what attendees are doing on their campuses, and we’ll have some time to share and problem-solve in small groups. This is also a chance to see each other and connect a little bit! Feel free to attend with child, pet, snack, and/or beverage in tow!

    Due to the ongoing changes in work, travel, and daily living created by the COVID-19 Pandemic and Governor DeWine's "Stay at Home" order for all Ohioans, the ALAO Professional Development Committee (PDC), in consultation with Katy Mathuews, ALAO President, has decided to postpone the Continuing Education Grant awards until April 30. 2020. If you applied for a grant, your application is still under consideration. There is no need to reapply. We look forward to updating you in May.
