GOT ELECTIONS? INFORMING THE PUBLIC
ACRL-LPSS/GODORT Preconference THURSDAY, JUNE 26, 8:30-5:30
Event Code: GO1
Are you as knowledgeable about elections as you wish to be? Most
librarians and instructors admit: we are in dire need of training to
better assist students and library users with elections questions. Does
the caucus-to-convention cycle leave you scratching your head? You're in
excellent company! Do elections energize and excite you? Better yet!
Join us for a lively full-day workshop with nationally recognized
speakers, and learn Who Decides? (Information on Voters), Who Runs?
(Information on Candidates), Who Cares? (Information on Issues), and Who
Wins? (Information on Election Results).
Speakers: Rhodes Cook (RhodesCook.com, longtime editor of America
Votes), Adelaide Elm Kimball (Project Vote Smart & Follow the
Money.org), Kay Bruce (League of Women Voters), Kris Kasianovitz (UCLA),
Stephen Woods (Penn State), Chris Palazzolo (Emory), John Hernandez
(Princeton), Erik Estep (East Carolina University), Herbert Chihak
(Pepperdine School of Law) and others.
Sponsored by CQ Press, Readex and LexisNexis, this vital training
opportunity occurs on Thursday, June 26, from 8:30am to 5:30pm at the
Pollak Library, California State University, Fullerton. Refreshments,
lunch, and transportation to & from the Anaheim Convention Center
included in registration fee. Learn more at the GODORT News page at
http://www.ala.org/ala/godort/godortnews/index.cfm or contact
jhernand@princeton.edu.
Participants are not required to pay for ALA registration unless they
are attending that conference as well.
