It’s a brand new year, and ACRL is entering 
it with a flurry of activity in preparation for 
its 13th National Conference, “Sailing into 
the Future—Charting Our Destiny,” which 
will be held March 29–April 1, 2007, in Balti­
more, Maryland. 

If you’re planning to attend the confer­
ence, but haven’t yet registered, you won’t 
want to miss the February 7 early­bird registra­
tion deadline. You’ll save more than 25% over 
on­site registration fees by registering early. 

With more than 250 peer­reviewed pro­
grams, the ACRL National Conference will 
keep you up­to­date on academic library 
issues such as advocacy, assessment, collec­
tions, digital initiatives, information literacy, 
and scholarly communication. The conference 
will once again feature a virtual component 
that includes live, interactive Webcasts of 
select conference programs; speaker materi­
als; daily blogs from roving conference cor­
respondents; and more. For more information 

on the Virtual Conference, see the sidebar 
on page 7. 

To help you plan your conference sched­
ule, a complete preliminary program is in­
cluded in this issue. The program is designed 
so that you can pull it out of the magazine 
and take it with you. We hope you’ll take 
advantage of this easy­to­carry guide and find 
it to be a useful resource during the confer­
ence. Additional conference information is 
available on the conference Web site (www. 
acrl.org/baltimore). 

If you’ve been trying to locate an article 
from the 2006 volume of C&RL News and 
haven’t been able to remember what issue it 
appeared in, the index to volume 67 (2006) 
is provided in this issue. If you’re hoping to 
appear in a future index, get a head start by 
reviewing the submission guidelines for the 
magazine on page 38.
