PREFACE Despite extremes of temperature alternating with bouts of enthusiastic precipitation, Chicago’s architecture and ambience provided a reliably stunning backdrop for ATLA’s sixty- fifth Annual Conference in the summer of 2011. The association’s members took full advantage of this opportunity to share learning, camaraderie, and laughter with their colleagues. Members of Chicago Area Theological Library Association (CATLA) and Association of Chicago Theological Schools (ACTS) proved themselves to be worthy and accommodating hosts. From campus tours, fine dining, and baseball to river cruises, entertainment, and museums—they were available to help every attendee find activities to take delight in while visiting the Windy City. 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 would also like to thank ATLA staff, who helped put together this publication, most particularly Brenda Bailey-Hainer, Denise McFarlin, Zhongwen Jin, and Barbara Kemmis. Thanks also to proofreader Karen Kechaver for her ever-watchful eye. I hope you will enjoy reading this Summary of Proceedings. The document contains full text or summaries of papers, workshops, roundtables, and meetings, plus other items for general reference and record in the appendices. Although it provides a substantial history of the conference, it does not, of course, tell the whole story. Be sure to go online to view additional conference readings and presentations on the ATLA Member SharePoint Communities website (http://www.atla. com/community). Next year’s local hosts, Theological Library Cooperative of Arizona (TLCA), are offering you the chance to rejuvenate, regenerate, and renew during “A Desert Retreat.” We’re sure you’ll want to take part in ATLA’s sixty-sixth annual conference in Scottsdale from June 27–30, 2012. Hope to see you there.
