An invitation to 
the Cincinnati Conference

We would like to invite you to join us in Cincin­
nati, April 5-8, 1989, for ACRL’s Fifth National 
Conference, “Building on the First C entury.” We 
hope you will be there with your friends and col­
leagues to learn, to celebrate, and to build for the 
future.

You can celebrate four birthdays at the confer­
ence! The ALA College Library Section is 100 years 
old, ACRL, College and Research Libraries, and 
C‹&RL News are all 50 years old, and Choice is 25. 
You can join your colleagues in honoring many of 
the people whose contributions have brought us to 
this year of milestones and preparing ourselves for 
the achievements of the future.

This conference offers a w ealth of opportunities 
for professional growth and enrichment. You will 
find that papers and programs have been planned 
to appeal to your diverse interests. This is the first 
time that ACRL’s national conference has featured 
programs in addition to papers, and the response to 
this has been tremendous! You will find many top­
ics and formats from which to choose. In addition, 
several major speakers will be featured including: 
Robert Caro, the Pulitzer Prize-winning author; 
Samuel Proctor, a nationally known and respected 
educator and leader; Mary Anne Dolan, a syndi­
cated columnist and television commentator based 
in Los Angeles; and Ed Holley, our own Academic 
or Research Librarian of the Year 1988.

Begin your stay in C in cin n ati w ith the p re ­
conference courses (April 3-4); attend our night 
out at the Reds-Dodgers game (April 5); enjoy the 
Conference Reception and the many other activi­
ties which are planned. Explore the delights of the 
Queen City where you can go Highbrow, Soul or 
Rock; be an athletic spectator, n ature lover or 
gourmet. Then conclude your visit by attending 
the post-conference on research (April 8-9.)

Please join us in Cincinnati. Come to learn, to
