SUNYLA Presidents Report – March 22, 2013
Virtual Conference
SUNYLA hosted its first virtual conference on Friday, Jan. 18, 2013, from 9 am to noon. The title was “Discover Discovery Systems @ SUNYLA.” Ken Fujiuchi, Buffalo State, set-up and arranged the conference. Mark McBride, Buffalo State, served as our moderator for the day. We experienced a few minor technical difficulties, but I think it ran well. We had 84 people registered for the conference. The slides from the presentations, plus all of the conference info, can be found at

The SCLD executive board is still planning the agenda for the April meeting. I will not be able to attend, but April Davies will go in my place.
SUNYLA 2014
I am pleased and excited to announce that SUNY Albany has agreed to be the site of the 2014 SUNYLA Conference! Wendy West is running for the position for the second Vice President/Program Chair, and Carol Anne German has agreed to be local Arrangements Chair.
NYLA Liaison
We are still looking for a volunteer to serve as a liaison between NYLA and SUNYLA. If you are a current member of both organizations, please consider volunteering!
Vice President/President Elect
I’m sure you are all aware by now that Sarah Morehouse had to resign as Vice President/President elect of SUNYLA. April Davies will be taking her place. Thank you April!
