25th Annual ASDAL Conference
"Christian Librarianship: Occupation, Vocation, or Ministry"
Monday, July 11 - Sabbath, July 16, 2005
Union College, Lincoln, Nebraska, USA

Come to Nebraska to sample mid-western hospitality and history as well as all the wonderful opportunities for professional fellowship and development that Adventist Librarians have come to depend on over the twenty-five years of ASDAL's existence. Union College has offered the use of their fine new conference center and a location convenient for travel from the General Conference session to be held the previous week in St. Louis, Missouri.

While this year's conference will not ignore new trends in technology, management styles, or other hot topics, we will focus on us: librarians as Christians and professionals. Leading our discussion will be keynote speaker Dr. George Summers, truly an inspiration, a leader in our profession, and mentor to many SDA Librarians. Other sessions and posters will be devoted to a variety of professional issues.

Weather: July in Nebraska is similar to July in Michigan only hotter. It is humid (I understand that corn and irrigation systems are the source of this humidity), but not as humid as Florida. Expect temperatures in the 85-100 F range. Occasional rain is always a possibility, but usually doesn't last more than one day or part of a day, so you can almost always plan on sunny weather.
