The Colorado Academic Library Association (CoALA) is affiliated with the Colorado Association of Libraries (CAL) and is a volunteer-run organization that aims to provide librarians and staff working in academic libraries an opportunity to communicate, engage, and inform.

 

Summit is CoALA's biennial conference. Summit 2014 is the first time it is being held online. This year's theme, "Educating In A World of Diversity," was developed in direct response to CoALA member interests as expressed during the Association's annual meeting at CALCON 2013.

 

Summit 2014's co-chairs would like to thank our sponsors. The Colorado Library Consortium funded multiple scholarships to cover the costs of registration. Colorado Mountain College in Leadville hosted the online event by providing access to Blackboard Collaborate.

 

CoALA Summit 2014 co-chairs are CoALA Past President, Shelley Harper, CoALA President Elect, Paul Mascareñas, and CoALA President, Sarah I. Smith.
