  8. New Business

    A call was made for volunteers to host the 2008 Conference. The OLAC Board is most interested in having a site in the Midwest, but will entertain all serious offers.

    CAPC will have open positions soon; there will be a call for applicants before ALA Midwinter.

    OLAC will soon be assembling a slate of candidates for this year’s election. Anyone interested in running should talk to Robert Freeborn or Lisa Bodenheimer.

  9. Adjournment

    President Rebecca Lubas stepped down at the end of the meeting, passing the OLAC gavel to new President Steven Miller.

    The meeting was adjourned at 9:10 p.m. There was a brief attempt to hold the traditional Question and Answer session, but it was obvious that everyone was wiped out from a long day in the New Orleans heat, and the attempt was abandoned.

Respectfully submitted,

Amy K. Weiss
OLAC Secretary
