ACRL Conference Sets Attendance Record

April 11th, 2005

From the Press Release:

“Close to 4,000 attendees from every state and 15 countries joined the Association of College & Research Libraries (ACRL) at its 12th National Conference in Minneapolis, April 7 to 10. About 3,490 people attended the 2003 ACRL conference in Charlotte. Records also were set for the most first-time attendees (1,059) and the most conference scholarship recipients (94).”

Great news, especially the first-time attendee numbers, which continues the trend towards younger librarians attending library conferences in droves. While I wasn’t thrilled that they put their ‘blogs’ behind closed doors (only for attendees), I’m glad they had the energy to try it out.
