Official Call for Volunteer Bloggers at Forum 07
LITA members will soon be celebrating “Ten Years of the National Forum” in beautiful Denver, Colorado. The LITA Blog will, of course, again be there to report on what is happening — sharing as much of the fun and learning it can with those who cannot attend this year. But, as always, we need your help! Do you like to write? Looking for new ways to get involved? Take this opportunity to become a LITA Blogger! The blog schedule for Forum has been posted and will be updated as we receive more volunteers. We have over 50 sessions to be covered, so your help is needed more than ever. If you are interested, please email Tiffany Smith and let her know what sessions you would like to cover and if you are new to LITA Blog. We will be taking volunteers up to and during the conference.
