OLA members for several years have asked that the
association sponsor programs outside of the Toronto area for
members who could not attend the conference. To the end the
Elizabeth Ann Lecture is being held in London, Thunder Bay,
Ottawa and Toronto this year. Tickets are $10.00. Please come out
and support your professional association. For the London event
tickets will be available at the door or if you are traveling a distance

email me and I will make sure you have a ticket.

Hope to see everyone there.


        "Reading and Libraries in an Electronic World"
                                                           EVAN SOLOMON

                       London / London Convention Center
                       Wed., Oct. 11
                       Buffet, Ballroom from 6 pm / Lecture, Theatre at
8 pm

                       EVAN SOLOMON, co-founder and executive director
of Shift magazine, is
                       the brilliant host, analyst and social
commentator of the award-winning
                       CBC NewsWorld programs, Fast Forward and Hot
Type. His fresh
                       viewpoint, intellectual acumen and dazzling
breadth of knowledge
                       captivate the incredible range of people he has
met and interviewed. His
                       essays for the Magazine and other CBC programs
are never less than
                       thought-provoking and rewarding. He is as
effective interviewing Harry
                       Potter's creator, J.K. Rowlings, and of the
children who read her books as
                       he is with the giants of criticism and
literature, such as Susan Sontag.
                       Having worked as a journalist in Hong Kong for
the South China Morning
                       Post and reported throughout Asia and Europe,
Evan has a legitimate
                       range of experience and a global perspective that
further enhances his
                       incisive insights into the social, technological
and cultural world we
                       inhabit. This is the mind that conceived Shift
magazine and he has only
                       begun.
