Join Us In Seattle

The AALL Academic Libraries Special Interest Section has many fun and engaging activities planned during the upcoming AALL Annual Conference in Seattle. Attending one of these events is a sure way to meet new colleagues or catch up on the news with old friends. Be sure to join us during the following events:

Academic SIS Reception
Tuesday July 15, 6:30 - 8:30 p.m.

The ALL-SIS Reception, sponsored by Lexis/Nexis, will be held on Tuesday, July 15, from 6:30 - 8:30 p.m. The reception will be held at Sullivan Hall, Seattle University Law School. Built in 1999, the Law School is located on the Seattle University campus, which is only a short distance (8-9 blocks) from the Washington State Convention and Trade Center (convention location). This reception serves as a venue to honor our award recipients, as well as our newer academic law librarians who have attended CONALL (Conference of Newer Academic Law Librarians) and their mentors. Bus transportation will be provided. During the reception, attendees will have the opportunity to view at their leisure the Sullivan Hall Art Collection, housed throughout the law school. This growing collection, described as "one of the most eclectic and exciting exhibitions of contemporary art in Seattle," includes paintings, mixed media, works on paper, woven tapestries and sculptures in marble, bronze, and glass. There really will be something for just about everybody, whether it's exploring the library, touring the building or sitting on the law school's patio visiting with friends and listening to the melodic renditions of one of the northwest's preeminent jazz/blues artists.

 

Academic SIS Director’s Breakfast
Tuesday July 15, 7:00 - 8:30 a.m.

The ALL-SIS Director’s Breakfast, sponsored by West Publishing will be held on Tuesday, July 15 from 7:00 - 8:45 a.m. The breakfast will be held at the Sheraton-West Ballroom(A).

Hope to see you in Seattle.
