"I was seldom able to see an opportunity until it had ceased to be one." -Mark Twain So what does opportunity look like? It looks like the chance to: * hone your presentation skills; * develop your voice in the library profession; * inspire others with your good work. Opportunity is the chance to be a 2008 CAL Conference presenter, and it's still open to you. But you must submit a pre-conference program or workshop proposal soon! **THE DEADLINE IS MAY 23, 2008** Don't wait; visit www.cal-webs.org/conference.html for more information and to submit your proposal. This year the conference will include a peer-reviewed session for the presentation of scholarly original research. Though not limited to academic librarians, this session aims to provide tenure-track librarians or similar an opportunity to share their research and develop their professional dossiers. To have your proposal considered for the peer-reviewed session, indicate your interest in the box provided on the workshop proposal form. Proposals not selected for the peer-reviewed session will be considered for non-peer-reviewed sessions. You don't want this opportunity to pass you by! **** The 2008 Colorado Association of Libraries annual conference will be held November 6th-8th at the Marriott Denver Tech Center.
