Note: This is the first time that the State Library has done a webinar
(voice and PowerPoint, no video). If you have not attended an Infopeople
webinar, as opposed to a webcast, you need to run the set-up wizard before
you will be able to access the presentation, so be sure to allow time to do
that.

What is happening at the California State Library? What new services or
grant opportunities may be forthcoming from Library Development Services? 

In this webinar, Susan Hildreth, State Librarian, will provide an update on
the Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA) grant program and give
highlights of current State Library activities. She will be joined by Deputy
State Librarian Stacey Aldrich, who will get you thinking about the future
of reference! Both presenters will be available for live questions and
answers. 

Presenters:  

Susan Hildreth.  Recognizing her distinguished 30-year career as a leader in
public libraries, Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger appointed Susan Hildreth
State Librarian of California in July 2004. She oversees the California
State Library's support of California libraries and cultural institutions as
they work for the continued intellectual, technological, and cultural growth
of California's diverse populations. Previously, Susan was the City
Librarian of San Francisco and Deputy City Librarian.  Active in
professional associations throughout her career, Hildreth is the immediate
past president of the Public Library Association (PLA). She has been a
member of the PLA Board of Directors and an at-large member of the elected
governing Council of the American Library Association. She also is a
long-time member of the California Library Association for which she served
as president and treasurer.

Stacey Aldrich was recently appointed by Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger as
the Deputy State Librarian of the California State Library. Before that she
was the Assistant Director of the Omaha Public Library System. Before Omaha,
she was the Deputy State Librarian at the Maryland State Department of
Education, where her primary responsibility was to oversee the
implementation of statewide projects. While in MD, Stacey played an active
role in developing programs, conferences, and discussions to help public
libraries generate ideas, conversations, and innovative programming around
future thinking.
