Preconference Schedule

Preconferences are workshops and seminars that will be held on the Monday
and Tuesday prior to the start of the main conference. These sessions
require an additional registration and fee, and are intended to be in-depth
learning sessions that will offer a deeper, more thorough look at topics
related to collection development and acquisitions.
