TLD 2008Asked members 3 times via listserv to ask favorite vendors to Advertise on the AzLA web site and in the print newsletter as an affordable way for vendors to increase their product exposure among Arizona libraries of all types! Vendor sponsorships are an important part of our annual conference! They also increase vendor exposure and spread good will among our Arizona libraries. Sponsorships are a pivotal way for AzLA to offer an affordable, top notch conference for its members. The next time you communicate with your vendor, mention that you would like for them to serve as a sponsor at our AzLA conference in December. Pass along vendor names (and rep contact info as well) to Katherine O’Clair at 480-965-5964 or katherine.oclair@asu.edu.
