Tabletop Rules and Regulations
AN OPTION FOR EMERGING COMPANIES
New publications and technologies often are introduced to the library market by smaller start-up companies. In order to give these companies access to the vital market they seek, CLA has designated a special display option for these companies. If your organization is developing new products and services, this is a low-cost opportunity to introduce yourself to the library market.
