Charleston Conference: Date Change for 2017

Charleston, South Carolina – Please note that the dates for the 2017
Charleston Library Conference have been shifted up by one day to
Monday, November 6, through Friday, November 10. The change was
necessitated by a scheduling error at the Charleston Gaillard Center,
but we think there will be several happy byproducts for our attendees,
including lower hotel guest room rates and travel costs.

2017 Conference Dates:

·        Monday and Tuesday, November 6 and 7: Preconferences and Seminars

·        Tuesday, November 7: Charleston Vendor Showcase

·        Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, November 8, 9, and 10: Main Conference

Our 2017 theme, important deadlines, and more information will be
available soon. Please contact Leah Hinds, Assistant Director, with
any questions at [log in to unmask]

About the Charleston Library Conference: The Charleston Library
Conference is an informal annual gathering of librarians, publishers,
electronic resource managers, consultants, and vendors of library
materials in Charleston, SC, in November, to discuss issues of
importance to them all. It is designed to be a collegial gathering of
individuals from different areas who discuss the same issues in a
non-threatening, friendly, and highly informal environment. Presidents
of companies discuss and debate with library directors, acquisitions
librarians, reference librarians, serials librarians, collection
development librarians, and many, many others. Begun in 1980, the
Charleston Conference has grown from 20 participants in 1980 to almost
2,000 in 2016.
