Our annual conference in Toronto is rapidly approaching. I hope that many of our Art and Design School Library Division colleagues will be able to attend, and look forward to seeing you. I’d like to draw your attention to those sessions in particular where members of our division are involved as moderators and, or, as speakers. I know at times, simultaneously scheduled sessions require difficult choices, but hopefully you’ll be able to attend at least some of these provocative sounding sessions:
