OLAC 2004 CONFERENCE NOTICES
SCHOLARSHIP RECIPIENT
It is my very happy duty to announce that the OLAC Conference Scholarship has been awarded to Jaime Anderson. Jaime is the Materials Management Coordinator for the County of Henrico Public Library in Richmond, Virginia.
We had 16 excellent applications for the award this year and I would like to thank all of you who applied. This year's award is partially funded by a generous donation in memory of Jo Davidson from her friends and colleagues at the University of Georgia.
We hope to see many of you in Montreal. If you run into Jaime make sure to congratulate her on her winning application.
