Super Conference 2011 Session Proposal
OLA Super Conference is Canada’s largest library conference. One of the reasons the attendance grows from year to year is due to the innovation, excitement and range of programming brought to each conference by library information leaders throughout Ontario, Canada and beyond.

Submit your proposal by May 25th, 2010. Fields marked with an asterisk(*) indicate where information must be provided.

Remember to press the “submit” button at the end!
The Ontario Library Association is comprised of several Divisions and affiliated Associations, each of which plans a portion of Super Conference. It is helpful if you are able to indicate which Division your proposal should be directed to; however, use the unsure category if unknown.
