New SARS info on ALA site

A check of last week\’s ALA Conference Services page said that there were NO plans to cancel this year\’s ALA/CLA joint conference in Tornoto due to SARS concerns. This week, in place of an ALA-generated statement, there is a link to the WHO (World Health Organization) SARS page, which now includes a travel advisory to Toronto.

An article in the April 23 Toronto Star about the effect of SARS on tourism, mentions the ALA/CLA conference specifically and quotes ALA spokesperson Larra Clark, who says that ALA is keeping close track of the situation.
