"Speak Up! Improve Support for Your Library" - Charles Beard, Director of
University Libraries at the University of West Georgia
Whether your library serves a rural community in Appalachia, middle school
students, or researchers at a university, you provide a valuable resource to
West Virginia residents. The applause, though, is seldom heard.
Unfortunately, it falls on the backs of librarians to promote and defend the
services they provide patrons. Come and be inspired by nationally-recognized
advocacy expert, Charles Beard, and gain practical hints and information in
the following morning's session with the assistance of Yvonne Farley
(Director, Mine Safety & Health Administration (MSHA) Technical Information
Center and Library) and Barbara Winters (Dean of Libraries, Marshall
University.)

* Preconference runs from 7-9:30 pm on October 15 and from 9:30 am till noon
on October 16.
