REGISTRATION:
Registration for the preconferences is only through the regular ALA
Conference registration. If you are not an ALA member, you can still
register for just the preconference by paying the Non-ALA
registration fees. The ALA Conference registration page is at:
http://www.ala.org/ala/eventsandconferencesb/annual/2007a/registration.htm#how
If you are an ALA member, you can register for the conference
online, or via Fax/Mail.
If you are not an ALA member, the Fax or Mail option works best, as
the online registration requires you to log in with your ALA
username and password. To register for a preconference, you will
have to look up the event code at:
http://www.ala.org/ala/eventsandconferencesb/annual/2007a/ticketed-events-prelim.pdf
and enter the code into the event section of the registration form
(The code from that page for the GODORT International documents
preconference at the World Bank is GO1).
