Image General Meeting Pattern
Monitor LES-L, the LES Web site, and use the ALA Conference Event Planner for specific information (including room locations) as the conferences near.
Saturday
8:00-9:00 Executive Committee I
Section officers, committee chairs, the listserve moderator and the newsletter and Web editors convene to report on and discuss Section activities, initiatives and future plans. These meetings are open so others may attend if they'd like.
9:30-12:30 MLA International Bibliography in Academic Libraries Discussion Group
This is a discussion group of ALA, not LES, but many LES members attend and find the group useful. Meetings include announcements from the Editorial staff of the Bibliography, information from vendors, and discussion among literature and other interested librarians. See the group's past minutes.

The Program is held at Annual Conference only. The topic and format vary each year.
