ALAO exists to develop, promote, and improve library and information services in Ohio’s higher education community, to advance the interests of academic librarianship and the personnel of academic libraries, and to provide leadership and advocacy for the educational and policy concerns of the academic library community in Ohio.

• We encourage attendees to carpool to and from the conference to reduce pollution.
  
• We encourage attendees to bring their own refillable water bottles and coffee mugs to the conference to reduce waste.
  
• The committee will be very intentional about what we choose to print. As such, stay tuned for details about electronic conference programs, evaluations and more.

The conference planners seek to create a space for respectful dialogue and debate about critical issues. Upon registration, attendees will be asked to review and accept a list of community agreements. Conference planners will actively strive to create spaces in which multiple perspectives can be heard and no one voice dominates.
