ACRL News Issue (B) of College & Research Libraries January 1992 / 27 An invitation to Salt Lake City . . . 28 / C&RL News ACRL 6th National Conference The 1992 ACRL National Conference Executive Committee Joseph A . Boissé, Conference Chair, U niversity of California, Santa Barbara Join your colleagues You are invited to join your colleagues at the ACRL Sixth National Conference, "Academic Libraries: Achieving Excellence in Higher Education." The ACRL National Conference is the only national conference just for you! Offered every three years, the national conference is an opportunity not to be missed. All programs will be held in the Salt Palace Convention Center, just minutes away from all conference hotels. Why you should attend You have told us in membership surveys and evaluations that you want to keep up-to-date on academic library research and practice. And that you want to share your ideas informally with your colleagues. The conference planners kept your needs in mind when they designed the ACRL Sixth National Conference. You will be able to listen to experts, ask questions, and discuss solutions with other academic librarians. You w ill have many opportunities to learn about the latest innovations in academic librarianship. Conference programs The very best in academic library research will be presented by 52 contributed paper authors. These papers were selected in a double blind referee process. Two types of papers w ill be presented: research reports that use rigorous research methodology, and position papers that identify problems and propose solutions. Thirty-five panel program presentations will offer practical advice on your library-related problems. Experts in bibliographic instruc­ tion, reader services, personnel, administration, collection develop­ ment, and technology will share their solutions to library problems. Thirty poster sessions will give you an opportunity to share in your colleagues' research in a more informal way. Sessions will be offered throughout the conference.

The past few years have been exciting for Utah librarians. Although w e h av e n o t been spared the financial pressures familiar to many of you, recent progress has been no­ table. In higher education, lib ra ry n eeds rank with faculty salaries A m y Owen in gaining legislative attention. The legis­ la tu re has co m m itted to a m u lti-y e a r $75,000,000 program to expand college and university library facilities, and new con­ struction is already underway for the first projects. One-time appropriations have also funded improved library technology and given at least temporary relief for collection development needs. Students In higher edu­ cation have even persuaded the legislature to provide matching money for their own fundraising efforts on behalf of libraries. Special All-Conference Reception Enjoy an evening with your ACRL col­ leagues at the gala All-Conference Recep­ tion, Saturday, April 11, 7:30 p.m .-9:30 p.m. The reception w ill be held in the North Lobby of the Salt Palace.

Utah's public librarians and the State Library recently completed a multi-year agenda es­ tablishin g state aid for public libraries, and the State Board of Education has adopted a master plan aimed at reversing the decline in school library media services. Now the 1991 Governor's Conference on Library and Information Services provides a strong plat­ form for future improvements. These suc­ cesses are in no small part due to strong support for education and libraries among the general public and elected officials and to the Utah library community's commit­ ment to quality service, open access to infor­ mation, and spirit of cooperation. In April, Salt Lake City is at its most beautiful and inviting.
