[1] Washington Office Conference Web Site Launched!

The ALA Washington Office has launched a new Web site dedicated to 
providing ALA Conference 2001 attendees and other interested 
library supporters with downloadable program materials for all 
Washington Office Conference programs, workshops, and meetings. 

The Web site, at http://www.ala.org/washoff/conferenceindex.html, 
currently contains calendar information for all Washington Office 
activities at Annual 2001 -- including important information on 
late-breaking room changes! As conference preparations are 
completed, the Web site will include all Washington Office program 
agendas and downloadable handouts for the Washington Office Update 
and all other WO Annual programs. 

Due to budgetary restraints and an ALA-wide directive to cut back 
on duplicating and shipping of hard-copy materials, hard-copy 
materials can NOT be made available at Washington Office programs 
this year. We encourage conference attendees to download program 
materials in advance of meetings, and to check the Web site during 
conference to confirm room numbers or late-breaking changes in 
program agendas. 

Hard-copy materials can be made available to those ALA members 
without Internet access. Please contact the ALA Washington Office 
at (800) 941-8478.

[2] Room Change for Washington Office Update at Annual 2001!

Please note that the room for the ALA Washington Office Update 
Program to be held Saturday, June 16 from 9:00 am - 12:30 pm has 
been changed. The Washington Office Update will be held at the 
Marriott Hotel, Salon 9, from 9 am - 10:45 am. The CIPA Break Out 
Session will be held from 11:00 am - 12:30 pm in Salon 9. The
