CHANGES IN THE PROGRAM Super News is the daily newsletter- your source for up-to-the-minute information on session and room changes, on new programs and upcoming events, and on events of the Conference. Every day, there will be a page devoted to a photo gallery. You may be in one of the pictures published. It is available in the first workshop session each morning, at The Oasis, at the Registration Desk and in the OLA office throughout the day. MEETING ROOM LIMITATIONS The sizes of session rooms reflect attendance indicators provided by delegates in registration. Since delegates are not obligated to attend the sessions indicated and since many do not fill out this section of the registration form, some rooms may prove inadequate to the demand. Convenors are obliged to close sessions that exceed capacity. Delegates unable to get into a session should choose from the 25+ other sessions available in each time slot. MEAL TICKETS As part of contractual arrangements with the Metro Toronto Convention Centre catering services, it is necessary 72 hours in advance to provide a final number for which OLA is willing to take full financial LOST AND FOUND MTCC 205A OLA office Security MTCC ask at Front St. lobby desk responsibility. It is first come, first served until the tickets run out. Order your extra tickets for the breakfasts, the Public Library Awards dinner and the closing luncheon at The Oasis as soon as you can to avoid disappointment. Exchange your Saturday luncheon coupon at The Oasis by Friday afternoon at 3:30 pm to ensure your place at the gala closing event. 8:00 am PLENARY SESSIONS Note that all 8:00 am plenary sessions are in meeting rooms separate from the breakfast locations. They are not tied to breakfast. These sessions are included in regular conference registration fees and are open to all delegates wearing a delegate badge. PROGRAM SUBJECT TO CHANGE Withdrawn sessions result when sessions are not ready or when projected attendance suggests an audience too small for comfortable presentation. MENTORING AT SUPER CONFERENCE Those of you who have agreed to be mentors and those who have requested mentors at this conference will already have your arrangements for meeting. We draw your attention to Session 1017, a public meeting to discuss possible mentoring programs for those already working libraries. Having a year round program is very challenging and we welcome your involvement.
