As the year-end approaches, you are prob­
ably buying your 2001 calendars and noting 
important upcoming events.

Be sure to mark “ACRL Early Bird regis­
tration deadline” on January 8. Making sure 
you don’t miss this deadline will save you 
30% on your conference registration fee.

The National Conference Committees have 
developed a rich and varied program, includ­
ing diverse speakers, in-depth workshops, 
networking opportunities, and exhibits rep­
resenting a variety of products and services 
geared to academic libraries. They have even 
built in some time for skiing and a party at a 
Denver cultural treasure.

Peruse the full preliminary program that 
begins on page C-l in this issue. Visit our Web 
site at http://www.ala.org/acrl/denver.html and 
you can register, reserve your hotel room, and 
develop an itinerary based on your interests.
