hints about choosing sessions<br />

If you are feeling a bit overwhelmed by the number of choices, please remember to look<br />

beyond the session title. Each submission was reviewed and accepted by one or more ILA<br />

Member Interest Groups (MIGs), which is one indicator of the session’s focus and approach.<br />

Also consider session format: two sessions with similar titles but different formats may<br />

appeal to two different learning styles.<br />

We provide this information as a guide; please feel free to stretch yourself by attending one<br />

or two sessions outside of your normal comfort zone. Of course, all sessions are open to all<br />

interested parties; however, if the room is full please attend another session as overcrowded<br />

rooms pose a safety hazard.
