Published by: American Theological Library Association, 300 South Wacker Drive, Suite 2100, Chicago, IL 60606-6701 USA Preface Set in the Queen City, ATLA’s sixty-seventh Annual Conference held in the summer of 2013 proved to be both a memorable and educational experience. This year’s conference was co-located with the Center for the Study of Information and Religion’s (CSIR) Annual Conference on Information and Religion. Members of the 2013 Local Host Committee, the Carolinas Theological Library Consortium (CLTC), provided an Annual Conference that brought together a wealth of ATLA educational programs, interest group meetings, excursions, and events against a backdrop of downtown Charlotte. This official record of conference events and activities represents the work of the many presenters, facilitators, and others who are responsible for the breadth of material compiled within these pages. ATLA is grateful for their contributions. I hope you will enjoy reading this Summary of Proceedings, containing full text or summaries of papers, workshops, conversation groups, listen and learn sessions, and meetings, plus other items for general reference and record in the appendices. The 2014 Local Host Committee, the New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary, invites you to “Experience the Extraordinary” at the sixty-eighth Annual Conference held in New Orleans, Louisiana, June 18–21, 2014.
