THE FINE PRINT


REGISTRATION FEE
To obtain favoured fees, the qualifying member must be in good standing at the time of Super Conference. OLA memberships may be purchased or renewed with registration. Members are requested to register on-line and only as a last resort to use the form from the printed program.

FAVOURED FEES FOR QUALIFYING ASSOCIATIONS
Members of provincial and territorial library associations in The Partnership may attend at OLA member's rates. Other provincial associations that have entered affiliate agreements with an association of The Partnership will also be honoured. In Ontario, OLA member's fees are extended to members of the OLA's affiliate, the Ontario Health Libraries Association.

NON-MEMBERS
Since this program is created for OLA members by OLA members, discounts are not extended to those members of the Ontario library community who do not support the Association. However, non-members may become members at the time they register and obtain reduced member's rates.

FIRST-TIME MEMBERS
New OLA members - March 2005 and after - may register at conference rates without post November 30 penalties right up to January 27.

GUESTS
Administrators and those who make decisions about libraries in college, university, school and public libraries are invited to attend Super Conference as an Association guest. We recommend attending with a librarian or library supervisor from the institution being represented as this can provide useful perspective on the program. To register, each guest is asked to fill out the Super Conference on-line registration form. Choose the Guest category.

STUDENTS
Student members are defined as those who are full-time in a post-graduate program or in a library techniques program. Given the low cost of student membership, non-member students are not eligible for special rates. Teachers who are AQ students must enroll through their course, using the AQ on-line form under Special Registration. Only on-line will be accepted.

SPEAKERS and CONVENORS
Speakers should pick the Speaker registration on the OLA Web site to receive special rates. Convenors are reminded that regular registration is required.

SPOUSES and FRIENDS
Only individuals registered and wearing OLA-issued badges may attend sessions. Friends or spouses of a registrant who are not associated with a library or do not earn their living from the library world may use the non-salaried fee.

TICKETED EVENTS
Ticketed social events may be attended without being a conference registrant. The regular registrant should purchase the extra tickets as part of normal registration to guarantee a place. A limited number of tickets will be sold on-site.

CONFIRMATIONS
Badge, official receipt and tickets will be mailed in advance if registration is received by Dec. 31. Your badge holder, official program and conference bag will be available at any Express Desk or from volunteers in the registration lobby. Your confirmation is provided by e-mail when you register on-line.

CANCELLATIONS and REFUNDS
Cancellation requests must be received by mail or FAX by January 27, 2006. Since all financial commitments must be made by that time, no refunds are possible after that date. Refunds prior to January 27th are subject to a 15% administrative charge. NSF bank charges are billed to the person registered. Any registrant with outstanding debt will not be processed until the amount owed is paid in full.

Programs described on this site are subject to change. Changes are not acceptable grounds for refund. Delegates are expected to choose alternatives from the approximately 30 sessions offered in each time slot. This Conference Web site is updated regularly.
