Early bird registration and fees are due no later than September 2nd, so visit arsl.info to get your registration started. *Why should you come to ARSL2016? * Well first and foremost, it is a national conference organized by small and rural librarians for professionals who work in small and rural libraries. A list of break-out sessions can be found here <http://arsl.info/2016-conference-sessions/> . (And if you wonder what the definition of small and rural is, we operate under if you think you might be, you probably are!) Secondly, this conference is incredibly affordable. Full conference rates begin at $243.85, which includes 3 breakfast meals, 2 lunches, the welcome reception, and all author events. This year our keynote speakers line-up can be found here <https://tackk.com/yz9urz?utm_source=tackk&utm_medium=embed&utm_campaign=sha…> and includes best selling author William Kent Kruger and Betty Gronneberg, founder of uCodeGirl.

By participating in after hour opportunities like dine-arounds and game night, you will be able to grow your professional network from outside of your immediate area to a national network of friends and colleagues. Many who come to this conference stay connected during the year and search each other out at future conferences.

Reading Redefined: Deep Reading, Learning, and the Impact of Digitization - September 30
by Heather Ladiski 08 Aug '16

08 Aug '16

Excuse duplicate posts. Please forward to anyone that you think would benefit from receiving this information. ********************************************* Register today to attend the Reading Redefined: Deep Reading, Learning, and the Impact of Digitization September 30, 2016 9:30 am - 4:00 pm Lansing Community College West Campus Ebooks. Websites. Blogs. Twitter. Facebook. Many of us are awash in digital information, and in the early 21st century much of our reading has migrated from print on paper to text on screens. What has been little understood or even recognized is the way that our reading habits are affected by the medium that we use. This is starting to change. Recent scholarship has inspired articles and media reports, and awareness is growing that our choice in reading technology - printed book, Kindle, iPad, computer monitor - makes an important difference in our understanding and retention of what we read. Since ebooks began to appear, but especially after Amazon introduced the Kindle, demand from our patrons has meant that librarians are busy selecting, acquiring, and loaning digital books. But few of us have stopped to consider the implications for readers of the new formats. On September 30, a collaborative of library service agencies are sponsoring Reading Redefined: Deep Reading, Learning, and the Impact of Digitization, a one-day symposium to discuss the ways that reading is changing as our environment and interactions become ever more digital. We are excited to have Maryanne Wolf<http://ase.tufts.edu/crlr/team/wolf.htm> and Natalie Phillips<http://dhlc.cal.msu.edu/people/natalie-phillips/> as plenary speakers. They are both pre-eminent researchers in the field. In addition to their own published research, they have been featured in numerous articles and interviews. The cost to attend this program is $50.00/person and includes lunch. For more information, and to register, go to: http://www.mcls.org/training-events/events/reading-redefined/ This project is supported, in part, by the Library of Michigan with federal funds from the Institute of Museum and Library Services. Other project sponsor partners include MCLS, the Michigan Cooperative Directors Association, and Michigan Library Association Heather M.
