Special Libraries Association’s Annual Conference in Philadelphia has a new program:

Need to Know Forum

New to this year’s Annual Conference is the Need to Know Forum.  This is a special outreach to information professionals who might not have thought of SLA as their professional association.  Select programming, is available to invitees at a special fee.  If you have colleagues you believe should be invited, please share that information.

As Chair of the Museums, Arts, and Humanities Division of SLA, I thought you might find this an interesting new program.  I have enclosed a pdf with more information.
