University of Michigan School of Information (UMSI) ALA Student chapter invites you to register to attend QuasiCon 2014: An (Un)Conference at the University of Michigan Dedicated to Libraries<https://sites.google.com/a/umich.edu/quasicon/> on Saturday, February 8. What is QuasiCon? It's a day of presentations and discussion devoted to understanding the present and future of libraries and information spaces. We have over 20 presentations, panels, and speakers lined up, including many current students at UMSI. We also have discussions and breakout sessions planned so that all attendees can contribute. This year's QuasiCon will also feature keynote speaker Jane Blumenthal, MLibrary Associate University Librarian and Director, Taubman Health Sciences Library. Jane has more than 30 years as a librarian in places such as the University of Michigan, Georgetown, and the American Medical Association. QuasiCon is open to anyone with an interest in libraries. Any student, regardless of specialization or area of study, is welcome. Any professional librarian, faculty, or staff with an interest in libraries and who wants to network and participate in challenging discussion is also welcome. Please feel free to forward this email to anyone who might be interested! We have kept registration at a nominal $10 fee ($5 for presenters) to help us cover lunch for all attendees and other expenses associated with the event, payable in cash or check the day of the event. Please fill out our online registration form in advance so we know how many to prepare for. We hope to see you there! Appreciatively, QuasiCon 2014 Planners ALA Officers -- Christan M.
