OLA Conference needs Student Volunteers Feb 1-5, 2011
Attention ESIS Students - This is an excellent conference and would be an extremely valuable learning experience for anyone who attends. Note that with volunteering you can reduce your registration cost. There is a career centre and an excellent exhibits area where you can learn a lot quickly about the library and information world. If it wasn't so far, I would suggest a full-day field trip ;-) Bilingual volunteers are welcome! If you have any questions regarding this conference and association, don't hesitate to contact me.
