Librarians –
UELMA is excited to be partnering with UCET for our combined UCET/UELMA conference this year. We are in full conference planning mode and hope you are as excited as we are. We still have a lot of planning to do but want to make sure you have your calendars marked and questions answered.
To help you plan ahead we would like to answer some of your questions –
When is the conference?
Where is the conference?
What time will the conference be?
If I can only attend one of the two days – which would be better?
Can I attend virtually?
Are there other activities available after the scheduled sessions?
Still have questions?
See the full schedule below! Your Sched login will be sent after you register.
View the UCET 2024 schedule & directory.In part one of this special two-part series, host Katie Blunt takes you to Providence Hall High School in Herriman, Utah, to meet with Library Media Specialist Mariah Gerlach, who shows us how she uses technology tools to support students’ information literacy skills while collaborating with English teacher Catherine Jensen and her students on their research project.

I have also been asked a few times…. No, we are not doing a GooseChase (Scavenger Hunt) this year. Sorry.
