University of North Carolina Student Attends Winter Meeting

Cape Coral, FL, February 1, 2013 — The board of directors of the Robert F. Asleson Memorial ALA Conference Grant has announced this year’s award recipient. Nicole Lehotsky, a student at the University of North Carolina School of Information and Library Science, has received a $1,500.00 grant to help defray the cost of attending ALA’s 2013 Winter Meeting in Seattle, Washington in January.

The Robert F. Asleson Memorial ALA Conference Grant was established by friends and colleagues within the information industry to honor the memory of Bob Asleson, late founder and president of The Redalen Group, for his many contributions to the library community. An advisor and guide to countless members of the profession, Bob’s 50-year career spanned both traditional and innovative technologies, from reference materials to CD-ROMs to online databases. He held presidential positions at several leading industry companies and served on numerous organization boards. The grant’s awards subsidize attendance at the American Library Association Midwinter Meeting and the Annual Conference for deserving Master of Library Science degree candidates. Winners are selected based on economic need and the quality of an essay based on criteria set by the board.

Thanks to all of you who stopped by to visit with Unlimited Priorities at the NGS 2012 Family History Conference last week (May 9-12, 2012) in Cincinnati, OH.

We had a great crowd, and thoroughly enjoyed all of the discussions and meetings.

If you are going to be in Cincinnati next week at the National Genealogical Society annual conference stop by and say hello! We’ll be with Accessible Archives in booth 436 at this event. Be sure to swing by to chat.

Accessible Archives has also created an easy way to follow all of the Official Bloggers. As they say on their site:

National Genealogical Society has published its list of Official Bloggers at their conference blog. Conference bloggers provide a wonderfully valuable service in their role as reporters and distillers of information. Following the official bloggers when attending a large event like NGS 2012 is like recruiting a couple dozen personal assistants and note-takers to be in all the places you cannot.
If you cannot be there at all, the bloggers can give you an inside look at what you are missing as it happens and maybe inspire you to set aside time and resources to attend next year.

Unlimited Priorities will be at the NGS 2012 Family History Conference. The Conference will be held at the Duke Energy Convention Center in Cincinnati, Ohio from 9–12 May 2012.
