ALA Midwinter on Monday, January 26, 2009, from 1:30-3:30 pm in 
Room 206 at the Colorado Convention Center, 700 14 St. Our guest 
will be Ann J. Wolpert, who is Director of Libraries at MIT and 
Chair of the Board of MIT Press, which is widely recognized for 
innovation in electronic publishing. She will talk about the 
changing nature of scholarly communication, what MIT has been 
doing in this area, its renowned repository, its efforts in the 
area of education and outreach to faculty, and how to position 
libraries for the 21st century. Please join us for what promises 
to be an engaging and informative discussion of scholarly 
communication trends and initiatives. This is a unique 
opportunity to explore the vision of someone who is at the 
forefront of innovation and change in the realm of scholarly 
communication.

Thanks,
